Making php development more robust

Are there any apps that save backup versions of a file with one click (save, commit, etc) live while editing?

In Mercurial, is there any way (aside from "Cherry picking") to push a changeset without also pushing changesets associated with a different head?

In the answer to this question, Ry4an states that "you cannot push Changeset2 without pushing Changeset1". This certainly makes sense if the repository looks like this: + Changeset2 | + Changeset1 | + Original However it doesn't seem to make as much sense in the following scenario, which is what I currently have: + Changeset2 | | ...
