In the world of SVN those workflows are well established by now.
In the world of git, every project seems to do it differently.
To be honest I'm not sure whether I'm doing it the best way, neither.

In the typical open source SVN project you can make commits only after
somebody has accepted several patches of you earlier and trusted you with
full write access.  With git your early patches are already in the form of
commits.  Please keep them as clean and independent as your first patch
submissions to a SVN based project.

Git allows me to accept individual commits of you without effort (much more
convenient than the SVN patch workflow).  When you mix unrelated changes
into a single commit, chances are that I like one of them but need more time
to check and comment on the others.  The result is that your good work is
collecting dust because you have glued it together with something that needs
discussion first.
