You start working on the main branch of the project. After a couple of days of work, you still haven't checked in your code yet, because the feature you're working on is not yet complete, and all of a sudden your boss comes and tells you that there is a critical bug which needs to be fixed immediately. Now what do you do? If you are working with a VCS tool like Subversion, you'll probably make a patch, save it somewhere, undo the changes in your main code, and then start working on the bug fix.

Keeping your code checked out for long periods of time is not a very good way of working; the recommended way is to check in at short intervals, and if that is unavoidable, then at least check in the changes by the end of the day. So the trick is to work on small chunks of code which can...
