This is the right answer. This makes easier to stay in flow because you are not distracted by side tasks like committing and have no worries about code getting lost. SVN was doing great here with autoversioning via WebDAV but git is even better because before you put in a PR you can squash your entire "run". As for what the commit message is, who cares. I use uuidgen -r but whatever works. If the proverbial manure hits the circular cooling device and you need to back to a working version, you will work your way back via git log -p and similar tools anyways. It's more of a controlled undo than anything else.
