To effect the same thing as a CVS commit in a DVCS like Git or Bazaar, you're 
going to commit and then push. So there's a little concept update for those 
unfamiliar.

You can commit everything you want for however long you want, then you can build 
a patch set from the head and submit that. If you actually have write access to 
the repo, then you'd be "pushing" your commits into it, though we're not doing that.
