Yep, I still _avoid_ it, but I'm often surprised by something that slips through - e.g. a typo in a comment that I just changed as I read through - but a comment somewhere totally unrelated to the present commit.

Maybe your better at avoiding it than I am, but I find it to be easily done.

If I do such minor corrections, I usually commit them immediately (via `git add -p` or better `git commit -p`), so they are out of my way.
