I don't use this anymore, but for posterity's sake:

(defun autocommit-function ()
  "Add this to 'after-save-hook with #'add-hook."
  (when (= 0 (shell-command "git branch | grep auto-commits >/dev/null 2>&1"))
    (let ((current-branch
           (substring (shell-command-to-string "git branch | grep
           '^*'") 2)))
      (shell-command "git checkout auto-commits")
      (shell-command "git commit -a -m 'auto-commit'")
      (shell-command (format "git checkout %s" current-branch)))))

I do use this for updating my schedule page:

schedule.html: schedule.txt
	$(RST2HTML) $< > $@
	-git commit -m "Update schedule." schedule.txt

This turned out not to work as planned.  I started out by doing test
builds with M-! rst2html schedule.txt >schedule.html && open schedule.html,
and only doing make when I wanted to upload (make upload depends on
schedule.html), but it turns out to be easier to type "make upload"
and hit the refresh on the page from my webserver. ;-)

Yeah, I would agree with that, although it's strange that they do
that.  It's especially strange for Chromium since it *also has a
directory in ~/.cache*!
