I mean, ok, it's not a good idea to do one huge monolithic commit each month, but I felt they were exaggerating. But maybe I'm wrong and clean commits become more important when the number of collaborators get bigger. It's just so easy to fix something, and e.g. correct that typo in a docstring while you're at it.

It's important even with a single editor. When you go back and look at
a commit, you should be able to read the summary and know immediately
whether a particular line in it should have been edited or not.
Combining changes into a single commit makes that harder.

Commits are cheap. Do more of 'em rather than less.
