It sounds like the only way to play with git is to commit everything that you do.
That sounds like saying that you have to allow anyone that wants to play with the source to commit changes to the development tree.

Unless I'm missing something, that's horrible.

Well SVN is a VCS and Git is a DVCS (distributed version control system)
As Mattn pointed out, the commits are on your mashine. Unles you push them to an other repository or someone fetches/pulls them from you, nobody else is affectet.

The "distributed" part in DVCS gives the administrators of the repository additional freedom to tailor the way the repository works to the development process. That won't matter for you but it can relieve the main developers of a lot of work.

An other benefit that depends on the circumstances you work in is, that you have (a part of) the repository on your mashine and you don't have to be connected to the server to work with the repository. (view code, change branches ...)

And you can commit your changes to the local repository and use all the tools git provides for your code development.

Actualy the last one is the important one for me. And if you don't know the tools git provides for you should start to explore your new posibillities
