Aristotle explains how he uses git’s index and how it makes git unique among VCSs. I’ve raved about git’s index before in The Thing About Git. It’s great.

Painless commit splitting in git —
Aristotle Pagaltzis shows a pretty crazy technique for splitting a single git commit into multiple separate commits using an interactive rebase and successive checkouts on the same branch. Interesting approach. I usually pop the commit off into my working directory with git reset HEAD^ and then use multiple iterations of git add --patch + git commit until my working directory is clean again.
