Description

Some users find that `skaffold dev` rebuilds too often: a file save is too fine a level of granularity. Although we could introduce a debounce time, they also introduces lag as we can't differentiate between deep-thought and ready-to-go.

One thought was to instead use the version control system to provide a trigger: rebuild on commit. For git, this could be as simple as monitoring `.git/HEAD`.
