Change Tracker: Monitor+revert file edits from Claude/AI agents(in-memory VCS)

I’m building a small Java app called Change Tracker that works like a super lightweight version control system in memory.

It automatically detects file edits whether they come from you, Claude, or any other AI/code agent, so you don’t need to explicitly “commit” or even know a change happened.

Features so far:

Real-time monitoring (detects changes from humans or AI agents)

Change history with timestamps

Revert specific edits instantly

Respects .gitignore patterns

CLI now, UI coming soon

Limitations:

In-memory only (history disappears when you stop)

Single project support

Simple diffs (not git-level smart)

Curious:

Do you face issues with AI assistants silently changing files?

Would you want persistence (keep history across sessions), or would that overlap too much with git?

What other pain points around AI-driven edits should I solve?
