We thought about prompting the user for a short descriptor to accompany each checkpoint, but when tested with heavy usage it got annoying. So the exact date and time of the commit is all we use now. The repo manager will allow you to see diffs between checkpoints in summary and to of course remove the repo.

The other big use case is to check things immediately after a major tool was run to see what changed. In that case you always want to diff current against the most recent checkpoint which again makes notes unnecessary.

If you are uncertain about which checkpoint you want, you can look at the repo manager and do diffs to determine which one to revert to. Hopefully that will be a rare occurrence.
