For small changes I can't be bothered. And small changes is usually
what we are talking about. The boss might ask for a small change, or I
might notice an easy to fix bug while I'm working on a larger feature.
These things (esp the latter) happen very often.

Furthermore, adding a feature in reality usually involves adding three
different things which should logically be in different commits.
Usually I'll write one or more functions that talks to the database, a
view that interacts with the user, and a controller that lies between
them. For these things it doesn't make sense to say "I'll work on
these in different branches". You need to develop them together, but I
still want to have them in different commits.

Daniel.
