There are two important differences with what you want to do: 1. As I recall someone else saying when talking about using SCM on their home directory (Joey Hess?), if you blanket record everything you then end up being careful about, eg, piping a grep search into a temporary file for some purpose, etc. So chronoversion takes a python function that decides if a file is "worth recording" (which can be by suffix or more general analysis). 2. As I've got a nervous tick of saving every couple of minutes (in case the editor or network I'm on dies), recording on save is too fine a granularity for me, so the script is designed to run from a cron job (I have it at once an hour) and not make a commit if it finds nothing has changed. As I say, not exactly what you're looking for but it might be in the right direction. -- cheers, dave tweed__________________________ david.tweed@xxxxxxxxx Rm 124, School of Systems Engineering, University of Reading.
