It does seem that mercurial is encouraging a workflow which is basically "get everything into one patch before committing it" whereas git says "take as many commits as you want to get it right, you can squash it later if you want."
- tbatterii 14y agobased on my example, yeah I can see where you would think that. But that example wasn't meant to be the definitive be all end all hg workflow. just an example of how one person(me) keeps multiple lines of unrelated development straight in their head. Changesets can be converted to patches, patches can be folded into patches, series of one or more patches can be converted to one or more changesets. IMO, if there's any edge case that all that doesn't provide, I probably don't need it.
