This is a workflow question, I suppose, but I find things work much
better if you can get the user to give you explicit commit boundaries
so that (a) bisect works, and (b) they can describe what each commit
does, and (c) so they can more easily move specific bug fixes or
features between different release branches.  The free-form hacking
more may be nice, and very "LISP-like", but there are some real
advantages to having explicitly describable and documented commits.
