Hi,

Making logically related commits was always my custom before arriving at
Guix. I still do so in all of my own projects.

The preference at Guix, however, is to split even mundane changes into
the tiniest parts possible---each affecting ideally only a single file.

The custom seems to be driven by concerns for the GNU ChangeLog, which
is generated automatically from the Git commit messages.

Kind regards
Felix
