A git commit contains changes to multiple files, with a single message, so if
you work on one logical change at a time, this should not be a problem.
Perhaps you are thinking of CVS, which (AFAIK) provides only per-file
versioning?
sure, but i never change 'one file' per commit, often many small changes
in files (even typos or just formatting)
Also, even short messages like, "Added \foo command", or "Fixed \bar
alignment" would probably be helpful.
i've probably forgotten that by the time i submit a zip as there can be
quit esome time between a commit then
Then again, you are completely correct that there is some effort to be
invested to properly use a versioning system, especially if you're not used to
working with one. In my experience, having a versioning system like git (or
mercurial seems to be good as well) does pay off in the long run, but only if
you tune your development flow to work well with it.
indeed, and we started on context way before there was git (and many
files are involved, not only tex files); changing now would probably
stall me for a while
