Hey, this is a nice idea and makes me wonder if it would be possible to use templates to automatically commit all recent changes in a git repro, and start a new day by a new fresh working space in git. git links are already possible. The template could create a link to the just checked in status in a extra org-file. You would end-up with a link for each date and file that changed and following this links, your files would magically be set-back to that particular timestamp. Furthermore, having the capabilities to see the diff and to see the history of not only complete files but of single headlines in org-mode would be then very helpful.
I believe having a more tied integration of git capabilities within org-mode could really come up with some nice solutions.
