I just read this article, which goes into great (as in good) detail about one way to solve the problem where you have more than one conceptual change in your work-space, and you want to physically separate them into different groups.
When I've encountered this problem previously, I've generally just backed up the working copy, reverted the unwanted changes in the working copy, submitted it, then pulled back the additional changes form the backup. But the way described in the article is a much better way!
Apparently it is supported in Mercurial, so I'll have to give it a go next time. Unfortunately, it doesn't help when I'm working with Subversion, as is currently the case at work. However, the article also mentions a way of do a similar thing using the patch program, which is still better than my manual way around it.
