Or "notifier"-style. Yes, anything like that. (Build-to-suit.)

Yes, in essense, to the parenthetical. But how long? For a long
time.
The breakthrough was figuring out how to do selected commits. The
low-level thing that makes that work has a bunch of generalizations
which in turn suggest the proposed features. (And more -- there's a
file-locking thing in there too but I haven't been able to articulate
it yet.)
As I explained to someone else recently, it was very annoying,
actually. I cracked the selective commit code a few days ago, but
that suggested a bunch of other stuff, and I haven't been able to
think about anything else since. No, really -- I missed my
mopping-the-kitchen-floor appointment and everything. Totally threw
off an entire week.
