I think you would benefit much more by changing your team working practice. There
is really nothing to gain by batching up a whole day's worth of changes, and a
lot to lose. Ideally each commit should contain a single logical change, like one
bug fix. That way you can see all the different changes in the revision log, and
you can back them out if necessary. Also, if you make put 20 changes and then
realise you have introduced a nasty bug, you might want to undo those changes one
at a time to see when the bug appeared. If all those changes were commited in one
hit, you have no chance to do that.
