Right.  Often I'll be working on one change, and will notice
something else that needs to be fixed, and will go ahead and fix
it then and there.  Even if you can find the disk space, checking out
and building a new workspace takes quite a bit of time, and so it's
quite disruptive to the thought process to do that every time.

Indeed.  I have however changed the script that I used for posting
diffs so that it explicitly reminds me that I need to check to make
sure that the diff includes all relevant files.  That should at least
reduce the frequency of this problem.
