Yeah, but not everyone wants to have their commit logs full "testing sample code 2" etc. Maybe you're profiling and you're trying out different pieces of code to see which ones might be faster -- happens all the time in javascript because browser implementations of javascript aren't identical. I don't do these intermediate commits otherwise my log would be a pain to read and 95% of the commit messages would be me testing out random code samples. Another useful case for it is when you're just putting in a bunch of debugging statements that you don't want to be committed later. I find myself doing undo/redo all the time for doing stuff like this. I think a more advanced undo/redo would definitely help out.
