Just got the following idea:
When you work with CVS you backup your repository as often as possible.
My workspace is on a local disc I have to take care of myself.
Usually, when I plan to make big changes that will take some time I
start a private branch where I commit to at least in the evening so
my work is in the repository. When I finish, I merge to the trunk.
Now, if I just have to make a few small changes where I don't want
to create an extra branch for. If this takes longer than expected, I can't
simply commit, this would put some broken code into the repository,
making my collegues happy when they update their workspaces the next morning.
I thought of making a script which looks for modified files in my workspace,
collects them and puts them aside in some way, by copying to another
disk (on another server) or by creating a compessed archive and then
putting this away. Would be perhaps a nice macro. I think, the
'Fast Search Modified' would be a good starting point. Now, I'm not used
to Tcl and I'm even lesser used to scripting on NT, so maybe someone
out there has already done such a thing and would share it.
