docs: the Target is the snapshotMeta-Class
  
  @param bool $generateInstance    most of the time we need an instance of the snapshot
  but we need sometimes just the repository of the snapshotMeta,
  and we just want the className.
  If we make this parameter to False we just get the className
  @return null|string
