I think there are times when it makes sense, and times when it doesn't. In my case, for example, I make a number of changes to different files in the same directory, and I want separate commit messages for each of them, because that goes into the file's commit log. But the messages are similar, and I don't really want multiple messages. It also means that the window gets wider where somebody sups some, but not all, of the sources in a big change, and thus has a build failure. Unfortunately, this method doesn't seem to help, since it only divides by directories.
