This is really interesting. It would be amazing if it could be run from the repository side rather than from a single local machine only. ie Instead of running on my personal dev machine over all of my local repositories looking for changes that I forgot to commit or stash, it could be run from github to all machines that had copies of the repo. Result: a prompt reminder to commit (on the github server machine) of all remote machines work. The use case is that of a project manager looking for uncommitted work from software dev teams.
A further application of this tool would be to create automated backups of every branch of a repo on every development machine. The use case is again from project management: periodic backups for safety or a backup of everything if there is a contract dispute or one consulting team's contract is ending and a new one is starting.
This is a ton of value for all companies that do software to have this tool expanded to cover both of these use cases. You could definitely found a startup to sell this service to any company that develops software.
