Not git, Perforce, but I used to have a guy on my team that would do weeks of work without checking in. 1000s of lines in 10s of files.

I gave him shit for every code review, every time we had 1-on-1s, and while he was doing his tasks. Nothing got through to him.

So I just kept dragging him back on check-ins. I'd nitpick the shit out of every line (and normally I hated that.) His stuff would inevitably break the build or be full of bugs anyway (duh) so I never felt bad that I was holding back his career since he was never getting things done "on time."

If you can't/won't break your work down into smaller chunks you aren't a skilled programmer and/or don't have respect for the people you work with who have to review your shit.
