Although by default Dwarf Fortress compresses saves to save disk space, this might actually result in a lot more disk space being consumed if each save is stored in a commit, since git is unable to only store the diff of each file when its compressed into a binary. Git also is really good at doing its own compression of the history.
Further investigation is needed to prove this theory.

…inary of the saves
will take up more space over the long term, than commiting the RAW saves, since git does
a very good job of compressing.
I also think it is useful to have a commit on embark, rather than players remebering to
save first thing.
