It is funny because I use git (and commit messages) to help me keep track of what I was working on since I'm a solo developer but also an entire IT department so coding is only a portion of my time. Sometimes I'll just be starting to implement a major feature when something else will come up and I'll have to put it on hold for a few days/weeks. Having the quick little commits helps me figure out where I was and helps me get back into the flow.
