 Make sure each pull request you submit captures a single coherent idea. This limits the scope of any given pull request and makes it much easier for a reviewer to understand what you are doing and give precise feedback.

This helps us ensure that every commit in Flintrock's history represents a working state, and makes changes easier to browse through and understand.
