GIT-AUTOCOMMIT

git-autocommit periodically checks for working copy changes. If changes exist they are auto-committed (git -A && git commit -m "<git-autocommit>"). By running 'git-autocommit -s' or by simply rerunning 'git-autocommit' after a previous abort via CTRL-C, a sequence of commits with a commit message of <git-autocommit> can be squashed into a single commit.

Typical usage:

$ cd /my/project            # Change to Git working copy.
$ git-autocommit -i 60 -V   # Check every 60 seconds, verbose output.

... time passes ... then hit CTRL-C to abort git-autocommit

$ git-autocommit -i 60 -V   # Rerun
There are autocommits. Squash first? [y/N] y

Now commit your combined changes or execute 'git reset HEAD@{1}' to undo.

$ git commit -m "Extracted base class 'AbstractMonitor'" # Commit all autocommits as a single commit.
