One more thing I feel worth mentioning is, the huge bulk of unrelated
changes in a single commit. In its commonest form, it comes as "adding a
feature", along with "indentation fixes" or "refactoring", making it almost
impossible locating the specified fix ("adding a feature") in the diff, with
whole bunch of unrelated lines in the commit log.

IMHO commits are cheap and to be done more often than in bulk, as it is
mentioned, to have 1:1 with the commit log message.

Pradeeban.
