You have a point. That's how I like to work. However, I am the only
developer here who seems comfortable with merges. Most like to do a
massive checkin once everything is working. If people want to
micro-manage their own history, even if I don't think it's the most
efficient way to work, they should still be able to do it. I don't
think that I should have to dictate the way that people work.
