Saves me from doing that extra commit, then.

That's also a thing I like about jj. Nothing prevents me from committing changes. Even merge conflicts are commited, so I know I can always come back to it later.

I find I think less about when to commit my work in jj. In Git I find that I like to commit to avoid loosing work, in addition to commiting when I feel "done" with part of a change.

It's a small thing, really, but it feels quite big (for me).
