It is ok as long as you know what are you doing - if you don't push out the commits you've just "undid" (or work on a public accessible repository in the first place, but I think that's kind of rare these days; quick survey - does anyone reading these lines do that?), there's nothing wrong on it, and it gives you nice flexibility. For example, to import bunch of patches (I guess that's the original intention behind this) you just run git-am on them and then stg uncommit all of the newly added commits. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ Of the 3 great composers Mozart tells us what it's like to be human, Beethoven tells us what it's like to be Beethoven and Bach tells us what it's like to be the universe. -- Douglas Adams
