Aren't this and similar statements based on a general problem of
people being afraid to commit, because CVS/SVN taught them to be
affraid? We are in progress of migrating from CVS to GIT and this is
one of the things i'm desperately fighting with.
In Git Commit doesn't equal Share (it does in CVS), so why not to
commit and save your work in progress and switch branches painlessly?

Thanks,
Eugene
