As a solo game dev, a simple log retaining undo history plus the following would be super convenient:
-
‘Submit’ (to label a ‘save point’ for changes since the last ‘Submit’) -
-
‘Restore’ (loads from the selected ‘Submit’ [save point] to revert project to the saved state)
-
Automatically (by default) starts a new main branch from restore point
-
‘Delete Branch’ to clear away selected ‘dead’ project branches
-
(left behind in the unwanted changes you got rid of by ‘Restoring’ to earlier ‘Submit’ states)
