Do any version control systems have auto commit?
This is a feature I would use GIT for, basically like auto saving in any other application but it auto commits every x minutes.

Dropbox I guess (yes it also has version control in a way, i.e you can check your old files from the net, download them and then use w/e compare tool you want).

You could make a script that runs every x minutes and does commit. What do you need this for ? Sounds a bit strange...

He lost some code that was dear to him- stop mock him, and start consoling.
Also, remember that nothing last forever - so if the copyright industry gets to svn as the next evil thing- you are fucked. If someone finds out you can share movies with these.

I just want a way to ensure regular commits while I'm working. Sometimes I get distracted and it's an hour or two since I last commited and everything is irrevocably fucked.malric wrote:You could make a script that runs every x minutes and does commit.

I think you should get a +1 for paranoia.PicassoCT wrote: Also, remember that nothing last forever - so if the copyright industry gets to svn as the next evil thing- you are fucked.
@DasBruce: if you are in Linux a cron script is very easy to make (and many tutorial out there). This being said, I think you should try to commit at important points in your development (when something works, when it compiles, when you think you wrote a good piece of code). In my opinion you might end up loosing more time looking for some piece of code that you remember was working 2 hours ago. Plus that if you ever develop within a team good habits will help not being hated
Anyhow, happy coding!

I would use google drive. Failing that, if you want a more manual setup thing you could try syncback and back it up to a local disk or ftp server.
Re: Do any version control systems have auto commit?
Google Drive isn't a version control system though....
When building a version contorl system ti doesn't make much sense to build this in. The main reason being that one can automate that ones self with cron jobs and services

No, it does not. I came here for an argument!
Truth is that anything that autocomits, and autoupdates, is virtually indistinguishable- from a classic filesharing service.

Document revision history in Google Docs is not comparable to the likes of svn/git/mercurial. Nor is it something you can export and take with you without great effort.
Das Bruce what did you go for in the end?
