I use that method instead of doing development via uncommitted changes in the git index, because that way: - I see the under-development change in a form close to how other people see it (as a commit) - I can switch branches during development - It's sure that changes are not lost - I can distribute my half-done commits to my testboxes (internally i use a hierarchy of Git repos on testboxes to automatically propagate changes) Once it's pushed out publicly into a persistent branch it cannot be touched anymore.
