Actually, I think that omnibus commits are a big problem.  They make it 
harder to back out changes
that break the build or the app.   The larger the commit, the harder it 
is to review the commit
messages.  So whether we adopt a strategy of tightly reviewing changes 
or whether we use branches,
big commits are problematic.
