The problem is that "saving" and "committing" are, in this case, the
same action. While it's of course desirable to commit somewhat
frequently (to avoid conflicts), it's not desirable to commit your
unfinished in-progress edits every few seconds.

I'm somewhat paranoid myself and tend to hit Ctrl+S frequently when
editing text or code. But co-developers would lynch me if I made it a
habit to *commit* changes to the sourcecode repository after each new
line of code, and for good reason.
