I can't remember the last time I ever cared for more than just the previous revision lol... this would be WAY overkill (for me at least)

- anigbrowl 17y agoI can see it being a big plus for working on longer-form documents. I write screenplays and when you've got 100 pages going back to look at old autosaves becomes a real pain.
- darkxanthos 17y agoOh for writing of course! (I wrote another comment about that here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=802642 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=802642) But for source code control... I was thinking nuh-uh... but it might actually be helpful at least until check-in. Shucks. I dunno.
- anigbrowl 17y agoJust being able to scroll back and forth between the history or different commits or whatever seems like a plus. It's the UI widget that impresses me, rather than the version control (which, as noted, is not new).
- iamwil 17y agoDepends on your style of writing. Maybe we don't only because we don't delete enough. And maybe we don't delete enough because we didn't have the tools to let us bring up any revision before.
