Making many wip commits with small chunks and then squashing and/or splitting them into proper sharable commits once I'm done is my usual mode of operation whenever a single staging area is not enough for what I'm working on. `git rebase -i` makes it a breeze. I'm trying to imagine what multiple named staging areas would bring into the picture there that isn't already provided by commits and I struggle.

If you think that's easier or just as easy as adding an id to the staging commands then I guess its meaningless to you. I think it can be made much easier than what's possible now and I think there's value in fleshing out the part of git that this is actually about, ie staging incomplete commits.

If its actually single commit, auto-squashed branches behind the scenes, that's fine.
