Personally I like somebody else looking at my commit, giving feedback and I
then improve it. There are many ways to achieve this. You could just share
via email like done in Linux. Change a commit for a new pull request. Do a
git Gerrit like workflow and push to a mutable branch. Mercurial goes a
step further and marks commits as "draft". A little bit long but might be
worth a read:
