You are absolutely right.  That is another reason why having the 
individual files tracked separately from the main project would be a 
good thing if I can get it to work.  (It would be kind of like having a 
git-stash on a per-file basis.)

When you have more than one functions defined in a file, and the
interactive Lisp development cycle works primarily on s-exp basis, not
necessarily constrained by file boundaries, don't you want even finer
grained control than "stash per-file"?

I don't think of a good solution myself, but I find your "finer than whole
tree" an interesting topic.

You're reading my mind.  My long-term vision for this thing is indeed a 
revision control system based on S-expressions, not files.  (I 
personally think the whole concept of files is fundamentally broken, but 
that's a whole 'nuther kettle of lobster.)  Unfortunately, that opens up 
a Pandora's box of ancillary issues, which would be seriously off-topic 
here.  If you're interested we can talk about it off-line (or we can do 
it here if you think it's not too much of a tangent).
