Nice! If they're useful to keep I'll use git commit --fixup into a parent commit (so I can then git rebase -i --autosquash) or into a commit called DROPME` to remind me to get rid of that commit when I'm ready to go

That's an exaggeration, if you've done `git status` and have seen what would be staged, then `git add .` can be okay, but even then we'd be better recommending `git add -pi`, which allows interactive staging of files; no more committing stuff you didn't mean to.

Without this setting you can still just type "p". Since I use vim keybindings I often just block select "pick" and replace it with "s". This is just about the default it fills in for you.
