Can we define partial commit ? Are we talking about when I <code>, <code>, <code> and then realize that I've got two features' worth of new material and would like to separate them so that Feature B is held back, Feature A is applied (and yes, tested, etc., etc) and committed, then Feature B is applied (tested, etc.) and committed ?
