dnf5 history <subcommand> [options] [<transaction-spec>]

The history command in DNF5 allows the user to view what has happened in past transactions and offers several operations on these transactions, like undoing and redoing them. In order to use the transactions in these commands, it is assumed that they were committed while using the history_record configuration option.
