I've gotten in that habit as well, but then, I'm a neat freak when it comes to git, always using `git add -p` and filtering out any unrelated changes into different commits. I'm often dismayed how sloppy other programmers are with git :)

Commit messages like "Ugh, I really need to commit more often. Did X, Y, Z, and maybe some other stuff." make me cringe. Those people need this change the most!

I'm the same way. People look at me like I'm a pedant because I tell them to do another revision of their patch to fix whitespace errors or typos in their commit messages.

It also annoys me when people create a new commit to fix CR feedback instead of amending their non-public commit.

But I agree the '-p' argument is amazing.
