I was not aware of `buffer-offer-save`. Thank you for the suggestion!
Since we already rely on `save-buffer`, setting `buffer-offer-save` to t
is much simpler than adding to `save-some-buffers-functions`. It also
resolves the interference between Magit and hyperdrive.el.

However... I wonder what the intended purpose of
`save-some-buffers-functions` is if packages like `hyperdrive.el` are
intended to use `buffer-offer-save`?
