Awesome.

That's a good idea. Group the timestamps together in a logical way.
If there are a bunch close to one another make the last one take  
precedence and group the rest under it like a folder in list mode.

Then tagging the change with the revision number that your real SCM  
uses is a great idea!

I'm not sure I can do anything with timemachine, but that sounds  
awesome.

Allan, any official plans for this kind of thing? Time Machine support  
would be lovely.
Maybe we should port E.exe[0] to the mac, it has really great history  
management and undo ;)
