I think the workflow that involves per-file commit is
fundamentally broken at two levels.

So what?  I would understand that in your workflow, the nature
of that never-committed headerfile (the fact it only has
debugging tweaks and contains nothing substantially risky)
practically minimizes the risk to the level everybody in the
group feels acceptable.

That does not, however, change what I stated in the document:
what you have in the repository is something that never existed
in a work tree as a consistent whole and tested.

You are only saying is that it does not practically matter in
your workflow, only because what is floating (not checked in)
are things you feel safe to drift.  I would not dare say that is
a wrong way to work.

However, I feel fairly strong about this after being burned many
times by careless coleagues who forgot to check in either newly
created files or locally modified files and finding problems
only after customer installation happened.
