I just found this yesterday, not sure how much it'll help, but it is
related.

Hello,
I'm new to git. I'm trying to develop a workflow for my creative
writing. I figure that other's must have came before me, so why
reinvent the wheel?
*Here are some issues I'm dealing with*
/Stay out of the way/how often to commit./
I can use launchd on OS X to call a script to make commits
periodically and/or when a file changes. Is making a commit every time
a file is saved too much? (I tend to save a bunch.)
/Should I have multiple git repositories or a single monolithic one?/
I usually have several projects in the works, each individual piece
(poem, story) has it's own directory which I use to keep working drafts.
I'd hate to have to remember to run git init, git add . , and setup a
laucnhd script, every time I start a new poem, but I would also hate
to be overwhelmed by navigating a huge repository.
/Is it possible to save out multiple versions of a single file? (easily?)/
I often need to open three, four, or more versions of a file. And I
occasionally need to print several old versions. Can git do this? I
know I can use diff to compare two versions, and I can open a
particular version, is it possible to open/save the last n versions of
a file?
/Is git for me?/
Am I running into a fundamental incompatibility problem? Do I just
need to learn more about git? What are some good resources to look
at—I'm overwhelmed by the sheer number of git articles online.
Thanks,
Mark
