I agree, but... It is nice that one can compulsively (or automatically) save, with full history. And then when things are in a nice working state, be able to distill this into one or more clean changesets. `git rebase -i` makes this relatively easy/nice. I think even better tools for this would make it way more realistic to get away from the staging area as step in the default 'commit' process.
