There are ways to improve that, such as making lots of small commits in a local repository and combining them into fewer larger commits when distributing to other repositories, but they aren't easy.

Interactive rebasing is quite straightforward.
# fiddle with the last 10 commits
git rebase -i HEAD~10
I also subscribe to the commit small and often philosophy.
If I don't I tend to end up with a ball of changes that ultimately get committed under some very vague title as I have forgotten the detail of what I was doing.
Plus snapshots, in my experience, seem to choke on submodules.
