Makes sense for a large commit. I try to do that after most big commits myself, or when things aren't inside the kernel. In this case, however, it wouldn't have saved much time. I made the commit and went to bed. The buildworld on the clean tree wouldn't have been ready for two hours and I was fast asleep by then. When I woke up, I had messages telling me of my mistake and fixed it then. If I had done a buildworld on a fresh tree, then I'd have done the same thing when I discovered it had failed in the morning...
