It'll make the commits a littleeasier to read especially when people are looking at the commit history.As I've said countless times, git makes this easier. You'd maintain a branch(local clone with maybe a separate local branch). Then, a series of commits in that branch. Git supports history rewriting, so you can do things like push/pop commits and edit them.guilt(git+quilt) can help, there are also other tools that are similiar.
I'm a couple of days into using git locally and I like it so far.But there are a couple of things people should be aware of when considering the switch: - The initial checkout takes a long time (+9 hours on my machine) although it only ever has to be done once
- The learning curve is steeper than with svn- The workflows are quite different from svn so be prepared to change the way you work - Setup on OS X can be a pain (you need XCode tools installed to use the git-svn bridge and if you don't have your OS X install DVD handy it's a 1GB download)
- GUI support is limited (e.g. the Eclipse plugin is at v0.6)
