Ah, another "git -p" article. Funny thing is, I didn't even know about the "-p" option until I looked it up, even though I was using it all the time indirectly through Egg (Emacs Got Git). The sad part is, though, separating changes doesn't completely solve the problem (I often get lines overlapping between bug fixes, cleanups and new features). More than anything, discipline comes into it, but at least git makes it easier (especially with the fast branching). Another interesting take on Git's patch mode: http://tomayko.com/writings/the-thing-about-git
