With git, you can make multiple local commits - I sometimes do dozens a
day. This is great for both when you want to try something out and be able to
recover easily, as well as for when you screw things up and need to get back to
a known good state.
Since Dabo uses a Subversion repo, I can't commit to it without
affecting everyone else, so I use git locally when working, and when I'm
confident in my changes, I commit to Subversion. Were Dabo to move to GitHub
for its repo, I would work the same locally, and then instead of a running 'svn
commit', I'd do a 'git push' to push my changes to github.
