Keep a local copy of source for error recovery
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I received a few errors trying to save a member. One time it was able to retry and save the member but another time it was not. I decided that I would just quit VS Code and start over. However, when I went to open the member from the server it was empty.
Luckily for me, the changes were minor and easily re-creatable but I would have been a little mad if they were more than this.
Describe the solution you'd like I can get back my member because I journal my source but I really shouldn't need to if you could keep a local copy that is saved to first and then shipped to the server.
Describe alternatives you've considered None.
Additional context If a local copy is not viable, consider a TEMP member on the server then remove the to be replace member and rename the temp member.
Sounds like we need an additional option so the user can configure where to make a copy of the source before we make changes to the member. Sounds like a cool idea.
Its a LOW pty for me.
Not something we plan on adding.
