I do as many local commits as necessary.  If it takes longer to finish
my work, I "git pull --rebase" so that my commits stay on top.  When I’m
done, I do "git rebase -i" and squash my commits into one.  This is also
the time I do the ChangeLog messages for the commit message by
extracting them from the diff of my changes.
