Hm... whats wrong with setup personal SVN server? Why Editor should aware of file backup?
Anyway - if it will be implemented it must be "disableable".
But I vote for making UnDo action more agregate... Not char-by-char - maybe word-by-word or similar... Sometimes to undo semi-long changes i have to press +Z for long time

I'm interested.
I'd only want full files available to revert to though, the one character at a time undo is a pain at the best of times.
and also I'd only want to revert to points where I hit save and closed the file I think. In other words all those file saves that I have automatically when TM loses focus I can undo changes while the file is open, but if I do a manual save or save as then I'm committing my changes - an undo for each of those would be good, if this new function was simple enough it would provide chunked undo, wouldn't it?
e.g. make a small change use TM's char by char. Make a big change and save and then step backwards using this new function?
it would be the recovery from "oh, that actually didn't work after all, go back a step and start again" type issues that I'm currently getting round by making back ups of directories of files...
(I mostly use TM for XHTML/PHP/CSS, and it's usually cross browser compatibility issues that make me want to backtrack)
looking forward to seeing it develop.
