> Whoa, the line "Every save is uploaded, automatically [by default]" needs to qualify the non-default options. Can a company policy demand that? I hope there is a protocol-level, client-side opt-out for that, otherwise this VCS will work for the company first, and the dev is an afterthought

I'm not so worried about the company. If they want every save uploaded, there are other ways to accomplish that, and they will have their upload. As a developer, I do not like "every save" saved because many editors trigger reformats on saves and such. Who cares about pre-reformatted code? That makes for junk history being pulled into VCS in a way that will eventually make the VCS data garbage. This is a feature that works for some workflows, but I suspect will be not so great for the team.
