https://wiki.qt.io/Git-gpush-scripts does exactly that, but putting a
state file into a special ref.

this script suite can be used to address bence's use case of migrating
wip state between machines, by having a git remote for the "magic" ref
space.

it's not perfect for a patch-based workflow, as i bolted it on as an
afterthought. and it could also use a github-centered mode. patches
welcome.
