I had a client who did this and so I started logging everything, pasting the commits etc. with the start and end timestamp of each group of actions (e.g. "created X table, met these issues, solved them like this"). Then I looked at the log and realised I was putting in way too many hours compared to the contract because I wanted to get the job done well, and cut back to the hours they were paying for.
