How do you construct a commit, in order to commit regularly, without having a staging environment in which to compose that commit?

Is the branch-tip simply the staging area? What if you're only half-done with that final commit?

[mitrandir77]

You `sl commit` that half-done work anyway and then iterate by running `sl amend` many times until your commit is finished. In case you want to amend just part of changes us `sl amend -i`
