Easy LaTeX Editor with SVN or GIT connection and auto-update

Question

I've had problems with my current LaTeX editor( Texmaker). It hasn't got an autosave option and overwrites the file every time I save them manually .

Is there an editor which has an auto update/save option? Preferably connected to git or svn so that I can view my old versions as well.

Is Emacs easy enough? It has built in support for all the main VCSs. — giordano, Jan 22 '14 at 23:33
I like Emacs, but I fear it will take a lot of time until I've set it up in a way to support latex and SVN/Git — Stein, Jan 22 '14 at 23:35
As I said, support for git and SVN is built in, and there is a basic built-in LaTex mode, not as powerful as AUCTeX, though. You can find the VCS stuff under the Tools menu. — giordano, Jan 22 '14 at 23:38
I think this should be a [tag:big-list] qn and CWed. See http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/341/how-to-manage-big-lists — Charles Stewart, Jan 23 '14 at 09:47

Not necessary a LaTeX editor per se, but if you want to have a bunch of files for which you want to automatically have them commited to git at certain defined timepoints, you should take a look at flashbake, which does exactly that. So you could write in your editor and externalize the autosave to another piece of software running in the background.

The writer Cory Doctorow uses flashbake to record his writing, including some "meta" data about the process. The project is available on GitHub.

I did it but when I try to use I get this error: "fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git"
How can I force TexStudio to crate it?
