> Flakes are coupled to git. You need to remember to stage changes whenever you do Ctrl+S in your editor before rebuilding. I've wasted more time than I'd like to admit wondering why what I'm building doesn't include my latest change.

There's an upside to this: I've been in situations where I've lost the definition of a previous configuration because I didn't check the state of it at that point into source control. By "forcing" the user (me) to at least add the current state to source control (if not commit it), it makes it more likely for me to have the configuration/definition for the state saved at the same time as the state itself.

If you don't lose the whole repo, you can probably pull those versions of of the git reflog even if you do lose them. One of the blessings of having `git add`ed something.
