automated snapshots with git

 Flashbake is a tool which watches files and automatically
 checks them in to a git repository. There is an option to
 wait for a quiescent period before committing the files.

 the weather or the currently playing song can be used to
 customise the commit message to produce a more meaningful
 history.

 Thus it simplifies life for the user by taking off the
 burden of manually committing changes and allowing one
 to focus on the work.
