Good point.  Better to achieve this kind of thing by simply dropping
your (transparent file-based) session(s) in an RCS, which will do all of
this a billion times better than any LAD session manager ever would.

That said, I still think apps should be able to save non-destructively.
"Use git" is a nice trick for geeks, not something that should ever be a
strict dependency.
