Is there any option to have this "private commits" feature in git? I just realized it's exactly what I wanted so many times. I've tried the assume-unchanged hack but it's too brittle.

I successfully use [stgit][1] (for 10 years) for private commits and pretty much for the rest of near-git workflows.

Does stgit help with the following scenario:

1. I want some changes in my repo to be persistent whenever I switch to a new branch, pull, or merge a remote.

2. They should not be shown in git status.

3. They should not be pushed.

From skimming the front page I haven't found whether something like this is supported.

I see that with stgit I can `stg pop` my "persistent changes" before pushing to the remote and then apply it again with `stg push` but that requires that I use stg commands to create patches instead of `git commit`.
