Commit often, fix them up. This is why I just can't side with the people who claim rebasing and rewriting your personal history is some sort of affront against nature. Take their argument and add it to the need for useful commits and what it unpacks to is that you should forgo all use of your source control until you have created a Perfect Patch, at which you are finally allowed to commit, until you create the next Perfect Patch. Of course that's not how they see it but it is what it actually translates to, inescapably. Really misses the point of the whole thing if you ask me; it really feels like accidentally raising old hacks to best practices.
