[gedit-list] Proposed enhancement

[Brandon Thomas <bthomas21 zoominternet net>]

Hello everyone,

I just joined the list.  I'm not a hard core c or c++ programmer, but I
do know some.  I use gedit a lot and with a the terminal plugin, it is
almost the ultimate editor.

I'm looking for a way that gedit can save its backups as a revision
history instead of just ~.  Currently I've modified my gnome session to
run a bash script which performs the following:
gconftool-2 --set
--type=string /apps/gedit-2/preferences/editor/save/backup_copy_extension .`date "+%Y%m%d"`~

This gives me a daily revision history though, not a per-save history.
I've checked at http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins for a plugin for
what I'm looking for, but did not find one.

If anyone has a plugin for this or knows of a way to achieve my
objective that would be awesome.

Looking forward to contributing and working with everyone!

Brandon
