Coming from a Subversion background, where you commit when you are finished with your work and not before, this reversal is very difficult for me to grasp.

I don't know how to rework a commit later.

I don't know how to, let's say, commit my unfinished work on curl, then make changes to libpng and commit them, and then push only the finished libpng commit and not the unfinished curl commit to upstream.
