I agree with what you are saying, but I just think it's even better to 
have a cloud backup, and also the essence of my problem is that I need 
to do a lot of meaningless commits that represent nothing more than when 
I had to switch computers.

You might ask, is a SCM the right tool for synchronizing work between 
two computers? It certainly has a lot of advantages. If I forget which 
computer I worked on last, or somehow make changes on both computers, 
the SCM will give me the whole status and do merges if necessary.
