+    (description "Emacs has a powerful undo system.  Unlike the standard
+undo/redo system in most software, it allows you to recover *any* past
+state of a buffer (whereas the standard undo/redo system can lose past
+states as soon as you redo).  However, this power comes at a price: many
+people find Emacs' undo system confusing and difficult to use, spawning
+a number of packages that replace it with the less powerful but more
+intuitive undo/redo system.
+
+Both the loss of data with standard undo/redo, and the confusion of
+Emacs' undo, stem from trying to treat undo history as a linear sequence
+of changes.  It's not.  The @code{undo-tree-mode} provided by this
+package replaces Emacs' undo system with a system that treats undo
+history as what it is: a branching tree of changes.  This simple idea
+allows the more intuitive behaviour of the standard undo/redo system to
+be combined with the power of never losing any history.  An added side
+bonus is that undo history can in some cases be stored more efficiently,
+allowing more changes to accumulate before Emacs starts discarding
+history.")
