I think a good principle independent of moving to git is that commits
should be bisectable. In particular, if a patch series is committed as
separate commits, each commit should be intended to leave the tree in a
working state; if a change was split up purely for review purposes rather
than with each subset 1-N of the patches intended to leave a working tree,
combine the changes before committing.
