[TxMt] Re: Auto Save and Versions

[Jason McC. Smith]

I can see where that may be an issue, given my thin understanding of
versioning in Apple's document model.  IIRC, you can declare a document
versioned or not, but there's no turning it on or off after creation.  Can
anyone confirm this?

I think adding versioning to the mix as an option is interesting for those
who use TextMate as a ToDo editor, for simple one-offs outside of larger
projects, and so on.  I can see myself using it in those situations, and
continuing to use hg and git for my significant projects, both source and
document  (LaTeX mostly) based.

If TM were to then provide that diff highlighting on top of the versioning,
that would, I think, be a rather spiffy feature set.  I have a suspicion
that integrating Apple's versioning into the current SCM handling model of
TM would be a significant amount of trouble, but it would be rather slick
if possible.
