I've wanted this for a long time, and also a frequently-amended working-tree-as-a-commit.

Why? I prefer a each branch to have its own staging area and working tree, which maps better to my mental model of "branch as an under-development feature".

Currently my workflow to achieve this involves a lot of stashing.

Do you know about git worktree? Because that sounds exactly what you want. Each worktree has its own index (staging area) and working tree.

What's the difference between a stash and a "working tree as a commit"?
