This is exactly what I complained about before. Before Git, I would
update to the HEAD whenever I observed a cool commit or needed to make
a big change, but otherwise would be a few weeks behind. Now, I
upgrade every morning to be on the cusp. It is a little annoying, but
I've dealt.

There's probably a handful of commands that do this that Kevin and Eli
can tell you about. I've read about this as a common thing.
