RE: Versioning between checkout|update, commit

[Paul Sander]

Some shops also implement a handoff mechanism that divorces the notion
of "latest committed" from "candidate for integration".  That allows
the developers to commit with impunity without fear that the world
would see something inappropriately.

Create your own private branch to do work on.  When you want to save
work, commit the code.
When you are done, merge the changes down.  

Other possibilities include implementing a backup system that takes
hourly snapshots....
