The latter is what I suggested :). I reckon you'll want ot keep the finger-granulated history for future reference / bisecting, but when reviewing that seems overkill.

If you don't think you're omitting information you will want later on (meaning the more specific commit history), by all means, go with the bigger patches. I find it nicer to create small commits, with the plus that it cuts down the size of the commit msg too ;).
