I keep everything in git, committing and pushing after every batch of work. Enter a few receipts -> commit. Reconcile to a statement -> commit. I always push those offsite just so I have a quick backup in case I do something stupid in git. I never need more than a few revisions ago since by nature ledger is already archiving my data. It's mainly useful for when I need to rename an account or fix an errant reconciliation that I find the hunks to be invaluable for ensuring accuracy. -Drew
