1) a user fatfingers, or inadvertantly makes an edit to a file in their epub
2) they use FolderOut to write the current contents (including the mistakes) to a folder
3) they play around with their epub some more, but decide to roll back to the last FolderOut version
4) they use FolderIn to overwrite the contents of the current epub with the version that contains mistakes they're unaware of.
Yes, using the standard diff tools religiously might save them from trouble, but not everyone using FolderOut will be using a VCS. It just seems relevant to me that a user KNOW that there's "uncommitted" changes that are going to be output beforehand.
If no one else agrees that it's necessary, then that's fine. I just want to make sure my point is being understood. It seems there's a significant disconnect in that regard.
