First, if you commit only to switch branches you can always instead of adding commit on top of whis WIP commit, just --amend it. Second, there is git-stash just created for saving state to go back to it. Third, I guess that the neat patch series are result of reworking existing series using tools like StGIT (which I use and find very nice to work with, going and correcting back and forth between patches in series), or guilt (similar to StGIT), or git-gui, or new interactive mode of git-rebase, or git-cherry-pick... -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git
