Wow, what a response for a simple post.
I do use Git, and take advantaging of its staging abilities. But sometimes,
I want to do some quick experiments and want to get back to a previous
state. Kind of like undoing with Command-Z except it involves multiple
files.
Yes, theoretically, Git can do all that. But are you telling me people who
use Git never invoke undo? Snapshot would work more like named, multi-file
undo for me, rather than as VC.
But still, I just want Snapshot to work. Right now it doesn't, except on
the simplest of projects.
