Hej
I happen to open files do some changes and undo them. When I close the editor tab I am asked whether to keep the changes or to discard them. I would prefer not to get asked if the state the buffer (not sure whether this is the correct term for the representation of a file in DbVis data structure) is in, is the one that is already saved on disk.
I think along the lines:
For the undo, there must be some kind of linked list and a pointer to one of its elements for the state the buffer actually is in.
If one extended the object in the linked list with a flag for the currently saved state, one could check on closing of the buffer, whether the pointer points to the list element flagged as being the saved state.
