You can use any command that "breaks" the undo sequence; then it will go
back to the beginning again (and the first thing on the undo list now
will be the change the last undo made).  I personally prefer to use C-g;
it seems to fit in this context and it's something my "muscle memory"
knows how to type very quickly.  I do the same with yank.

Of course whatever works for you is best.
