Hi,

think it might pay more to consider the conditions when forgetting occurs.

If it's just to late, a warning might make you still more forgetting.

BTW a feature I most enjoy is abolish warnings when a buffer get's closed.

(defun kill-buffer-unconditional (&optional puffer)
  " "
  (interactive)
  (when puffer
    (set-buffer puffer)
    (switch-to-buffer (current-buffer))
    )
  (set-buffer-modified-p 'nil)
  (kill-buffer (current-buffer)))

Well, sorry, that's again the opposite direction :)

Seriously: usually run two different VC's at same time: RCS in the 
background, committing more often --and without messages-- while above 
bazaar or whatever gets it, when it seems done.



Cheers,

Andreas
