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.
