Great suggestions in here. I just like to add a little bit to the work flow which I have been finding useful when you are breaking up your current changes in to a couple patches for the focused small commits.

#breaking up locate changes into focused commits
git add -p files/orDirectories
git stash save --keep-index # this will stash the changes which are not in the staging area (or added  or in the index )
make
test
git commit
git stash pop

It's important to build and test the patch to make sure it functional by itself and not dependent on you future commit.
