#5What's wrong with a big end of day commit? Sure, a well crafted git history can be very valuable. But then comes somebody and decides to just flush your well curated history down the toilet (=delete it and start somewhere else from scratch) and then all the valuable metadata stored in the history is lost.
Maybe consider putting your energy into a good documentation inside the repository. I would love to have more projects with documentations which cover the timeline and ideas during development, instead of having to extract these information from metadata - which is what commit messages are, in the end.

if commit messages are meaningful and the commits are well crafted (with the help of git add -p for example) this documentation can be generated from the metadata ;P
Also, big end of day commits normally cover multiple different fixes. Which is, I hope you can understand, not very nice to have in one big commit.
If someone else decides your implementation of something is not good enough, and they manage to get enough buy-in to rewrite it from scratch, maybe they were right to start with?. And if your history is not clear about the why of your changes, you have 0 to defend your work

I've used tig just for this for as long as I can remember, probably 18+ years.
