IMO, overlays are a convenience more than anything else. I can get my
work done without them updating in realtime. I usually have an idea of
what I've been working on and what I haven't been.

Commit early, commit often.

Then you should be working on a private branch which, when you're
ready to test, you merge back to trunk. This allows you to commit
frequently without impacting anyone else's work.

To back up a WC, just copy it.
