I personally think that, in such a case, you'd be justified to commit
it as a temporary measure.  Due to the difference in time zones, this
has hit people while I've been asleep.  That doesn't mean the commit
would stay, of course, but at least it would save people unnecessary
pain.  Note, of course, that I have now committed the correct file,
which I had forgotten last night.

What do you others think?
