Garrett LeSage@ohyran I once worked on a hosted project that autosaved and we added a save button after usability testing found people weren't sure if things were saved. It made them feel better. (Just saying "Saving..." once in a while wasn't enough.)
If there is history with snapshots with the possibility to revert to an old version, then manually hitting the save button should indicate a more important entry than a typical autosave. It's basically a big landmark event.
