Um, no. They are just backup files, it stores the last state. As someone else mentioned, it's pretty standard practice for most editors, though different ones use different file name munging.

Just install the tools, `git init` in the directory you're interested in and add your changes. http://git-scm.com/ - Steve On Wed, May 4, 2011 at 5:59 AM, Robert Huttinger <roberthuttin...@gmail.com> wrote: > I mustve checked that at some point. > 'incremental'.. will that save versions?
