What about working on a (temp) branch and then selectively merging what you want over? Steps would be: Make temp branch Switch to temp branch Commit all Switch to main branch Selectively merge files/lines from temp to main Commit main. "Copy merge" from temp to main to overwrite workspace with stuff from temp in order to recreate modified files (i.e. files that you only merged a few lines from) that existed initially. Rm temp branch Keep working. Most of that should be scriptable.
