It's alright to check things in hastily. You're the only one affected. Of course, before it can be merged into a mainline branch, it has to be peer reviewed (although I like peer reviews as a I go), and all the tests must pass, etc. This promotes a workflow that prevents both stigmas of "wait 'til it's perfect" and "check it in whenever" These reasons themselves are why I’ve been a particular fan of distributed version control, and particularly, Bazaar.
