You could do all this with git clones, but it would mean extra

There's a script in git's contrib directory called 'git-new-workdir'.
You can use it to have multiple working directories that share the
same git back end. I'll typically do something like:
git clone ... mainsrc
git new-workdir mainsrc worksrc
cd worksrc
git checkout -b work
.. hack ..
git add; git commit
cd ../mainsrc
git merge work # or cherry-pick or whatever
test away
I find it helps when making multiple patches to be able to test that
the intermediate versions work, without having to mess up my main
working tree.
To install the script, just copy it somewhere into your path, and make
it executable. Or make an executable script in your path like this:
#!/bin/sh
exec sh /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir "$@"
