It seems to me, that this isn't really autosave, it's more of an 
automated versioning. I know it seems like sort of a semantic argument, 
but an actual autosave feature, where you can set it to save to a temp 
file every 5 minutes or something, would be really really nice. I know 
it has saved my butt in programs like Word a couple of times (granted 
it was because the PC I was on crashed before I had saved; who worries 
about that with TM? ;) and I personally would love to have that 
feature.

PS. And I don't think this is really something controllable with a 
command, since it needs to be invoked without you. Actually, that would 
be really cool too - have a way to invoke commands on time intervals - 
so say, update cvs every 10 minutes, or save every 5 minutes, or 
whatever you wish, whenever you wish. Just a thought. Something like 
this would remove the necessity of autosave, and give a whole bunch of 
other functionality at the same time.
