If I come across a non-critical typo in code (say, an errant apostrophe in a print(error) statement), is it worth making a commit to resolve that error, or should it simply be left alone?

Specifically, I'm curious about weighing the gumming-up of the commit log against the value of resolving these non-critical typos. I'm leaning toward resolving them. Am I being pedantic?

My personal feeling is that improving quality is worth the minor inconvenience of an additional commit log entry, even for small improvements. After all, small improvements count a lot when you factor in the broken window effect.

You might want to prefix it with a TRIVIAL: tag, or mark it as trivial if your VCS supports it.
