I have something like this in my emacs configuration:
(run-at-time t 600
(lambda ()
(org-save-all-org-buffers)
(call-process "org-git-sync.sh" nil "*Org git sync*" nil)))
The script org-git-sync.sh performs a git commit. Essentially this
autosaves my org directory every 10 minutes. One nice property is that
if nothing has changed in the last 10 minutes git commit will fail, so I
only get meaningful history in my git repository.

There is the option `org-fold-catch-invisible-edits'
(`org-catch-invisible-edits' in older versions of org mode) that will
warn you or throw an error or both if you make changes in an invisible
part of the org buffer. I am not sure if it works for undo, though.
