I also commit as often as I can. Commits are free, and I like it the my git log tells a story. I think the most important part is to make it as easy as possible to use the first time, and detail the main use cases in the readme, including how to install all the perquisites. Sometimes I start a project without git and then decide to open source it, so my first commit is "v1, works" and the commit counter is low.
