Commit per keystroke may be a joke, but what about "commit because I'm
going home" (from my work PC's checkout of my repository on my USB
drive, to pick up later on my home PC)? Even assuming I don't mind
people looking at what time I leave work from the logs (:-)) I'm sure
that history isn't of much use back in the project mainline when I
finally merge my changes...
