Hi,

Frankly, if the choice is between "I just want to make a commit to this 
project" and "Then I'll not use version control at all", I'd rather choose 
the former.

Which is exactly what I did the other day, having to write a non-trivial 
script to allow the user to do what he wants to do.

Ciao,
