Why don't you use rsync or scp for synchronization with your web  
server? Check-out, modify, sync, test, modify, sync, test, check-in.  
Then on production web server you just want to update.

My personal opinion: just commit things that actually *work*. Never,  
but really, never commit undone things or things that fail compiling  
or stuff like that. If you are using Perl, first of all check if it  
don't have syntax errors :-D
