It's important even with a single editor. When you go back and look at a commit, you should be able to read the summary and know immediately whether a particular line in it should have been edited or not. Combining changes into a single commit makes that harder. Commits are cheap. Do more of 'em rather than less. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
