Yeah, I know.  My coefficient of curmudgeonosity is abnormally high
the past 20 hours or so.  My frustration is that when I wind up making
cleanups in the process of finding the fix and it takes much longer
than I felt like it should have I'm not relishing the task of remaking
them all to sort out which is which.  Doing them as independent
micro-commits and sorting before squashing is a nightmare if the
affected lines overlap.  The easiest is generally to reintroduce the
bug in the cleaned up version, make that a commit, and then take it
out again for the second commit.  But it still seems onerous when I'm
grumpy (normally I'd just suck it up & deal).

I know the feeling.  That's how I sometimes feel looking at the net
result of several thousand independent commits with wildly different
(and sometimes mutually exclusive) intents, all applied on top of each
other.
