Don't get me wrong, I'm all for SCM.
I use Subversion or Git on every single project I work on. Absolutely.

However, I find I only ever commit solid changes that I can write a  
good commit message for, like…
	[FIXED] No longer eats small children

That's really how you're supposed to use SCM, especially with a shared  
project with more than a single developer.

What I'm talking about with this feature is handling all the in  
between steps that aren't good enough to commit, but nothing as tiny  
as a few characters.

And also getting SCM used by people on single-developer projects and  
individual random files.

But, yes. This system would have to be optional.

to really do this right it would have to be a part of TextMate itself  
instead of just a textmate bundle. And since I have no clue how to  
program textmate plugins and don't have the source code for textmate  
handy, I'm going to have to settle for making this as a textmate  
bundle and overwriting command-s or something.
