One thing I really would like in a calendar app is some sort of "change log", and this gets somewhat close to that, assuming you track the file in git.

For example, I recently scheduled a dentist appointment 6 months from now. Unless I scroll through the calendar, or specifically search for it, there is no easy way to find that I added that event.

As you guessed, roland35, I do track my calendar.txt in git.

One main benefit from git is also to work as an insurance against (user) errors, and make the whole process much more transparent. When I have used calendars with automatic synchronization, I would have enjoyed a "change log" to make sure that my timezones and meetings are not mistakenly modified by software.

For your dentist example, I would probably just use 'grep' or find in my text editor. After all, six months of days is very little text.
