Keep in mind that it could not be as trivial as it sounds. Image files 
processed in GIMP can be really big, and probably the penalty in 
performance and diskspace of having constant backups is too much.
Probably it's better to wait until GIMP gains a non-destructive 
workflow, where storing copies of the internal GEGL tree seems more 
feasible than duplicating large files all the time.
