    This feels very useful for training agents but almost completely useless to humans? Do I really want to go back to every change I made? Whatuse would that be?

      Jetbrains has had a "local history" feature for many years that had this, and I only use it occasionally but it feels pretty essential now. I once accidentally wiped uncomimted work in the terminal, and brought up Local History to restore it in a click. Or more casually, I'm struggling with a CSS design: what did it look like at 3pm? It's an effortless escape or experimentation valve between commits.

      (It's also why you never need to manually save a file in jetbrains. It just assumes you want to save, because you can always safely go back if needed. Editors with manual saving feel cumbersome now)
