Dear diary, on Tue, Feb 14, 2006 at 09:58:02PM CET, I got a letter
where Chuck Lever <cel@citi.umich.edu> said that...

It is ok as long as you know what are you doing - if you don't push out
the commits you've just "undid" (or work on a public accessible
repository in the first place, but I think that's kind of rare these
days; quick survey - does anyone reading these lines do that?), there's
nothing wrong on it, and it gives you nice flexibility.

For example, to import bunch of patches (I guess that's the original
intention behind this) you just run git-am on them and then stg uncommit
all of the newly added commits.
