 =0A=0AOne more thing (so this is not entirely a double post!). While readi=
ng these books I found that the authors were pretty religious about Clean C=
ommits. I mean, ok, it's not a good idea to do one huge monolithic commit e=
ach month, but I felt they were exaggerating. But maybe I'm wrong and clean=
 commits become more important when the number of collaborators get bigger.=
 It's just so easy to fix something, and e.g. correct that typo in a docstr=
ing while you're at it.=0A=0A=0Aregards,=0AAlbert-Jan=0A=0A=0A=0A=0AHi,=0A=
