As I've said before, git would help for this. This is directed to all.

I'm not going to really teach anyone how to use git.  There are plenty
of docs on how to learn it.  But git is the absolute right tool for
this.  Maintain a local history of *separate* changes, then commit
them in bulk when everything is done.

For example, I committed 15 changes last sunday, back-to-back, got 15
consecutive revision numbers.  I was able to make certain each patch
worked in and of itself, so that when it came time to commit them all,
I could do it really quick.

Git also allows one to have *small*, easily digestible changes.  Using
rebase, one can also keep from polluting upstream with useless stuff,
bad licensing, unneeded files, etc.
