so basically, not adhering to atomic commits. That's fine if it's a deliberate choice, but some people like me think commits should stand on their own.
(i'm assuming your are not squashing when merging, else it's pretty much the same workflow)
Honestly, i find that a really weird view. I use (Local) commits for work in progress. I feel like insisting on atomic commits in your local checkout defeats the entire purpose of using a tool like git.
What do you do when you are working on something and are forced to switch to working on something else in the middle of it?

I AM squashing before merging. Pre-commit hooks run on any commit on any branch, AFAIK. In any serious repo I'd never be committing to master directly.
