If my repo contains modifications I don't want to commit, I git-stash those modifications. I find it to be a lot safer: at least I can run the build + testsuite on what I'm actually going to commit, allowing the prevention of an incomplete commit (which means in practice, I nearly always use "git commit -a", and I find the index pretty annoying).

Haw can you partially stash a file?

It'd be nice if there was a way to run a build + test cycle on the staging tree.

You can use

  git stash -k
Which will create the stash with your changes (both staged and unstaged), but keep the staged ones in the staging area and in the working tree.
