One case is when you only want to commit compiling code, and to
test-compile on all platforms that you are supposed to be portable to
you need to access the source tree on different systems before
committing anything.
You could of course commit optimistically and checkout on the other
system, and then go back and rewrite the commits if you need to fix
something. But that is a lot more work.
