I advise against anyone performing this sort of "commit time changes" to code, because it means you've not actually tested the unique set of changes being committed - too easy to make a mistake and commit something that's not operationally correct or may not even compile.

If you are faced with a working tree which already contains a mixture of multiple commits, your options are limited. The workflow in the video is easy and safe with respect to ensuring that you will *finally* have committed everything you had in your working tree. Nevertheless, we agree that you should check the individual commits; with SmartGit you can do that using "Modify or Split Commit" with "Modify All" option, then step through all commits and compile/run tests.
