In emacs, bnd the git add, git commit to Ctrl-x - s, and saving also 
means committing.

My backup system uses MD5's to decide which files need backing up, so 
theoretically it shouldn't cost too much to backup the git archives once 
daily.  It's all still under development, however.  (I've been offline 
for two weeks, developing and running the backup system, and preparing 
for a complete reinstall of a corrupted system)
