Well, er, yup. I hate to appear smug, but once I'm running tests, which 
is pretty early - I'm agile, but not a fanatic - and certainly once I'm 
thinking that I'd hate to lose something, then yes it gets committed.

The whole distributed thing? My outfit, which I manage, so I have no 
excuses - well, I do, but not here - means that we can't commit outside 
the firewall, and I share your pain. Tangentially, I'm currentlyy - like 
now, as I type - evaluating mercurial to replace svn.
