Interrupted workflow::
+
You can get interrupted by an ungent fix request while you are
still in the middle of a large change. The files in your
working tree are not in any shape to be committed yet, but you
need to get to the other branch for a quick bugfix.

------------
$ git checkout feature ;# you were working in "feature" branch and
$ work work work ;# got interrupted
$ git commit -a -m 'snapshot WIP' <1>
$ git checkout master
$ fix fix fix
$ git commit ;# commit with real log
$ git checkout feature
$ git reset --soft HEAD^ ;# go back to WIP state <2>
$ git reset <3>
<1> This commit will get blown away so a throw-away log message is OK.
<2> This removes the 'WIP' commit from the commit history, and makes
your working tree in the state just before you made that snapshot.
<3> After <2>, the index file still has all the WIP changes you
committed in <1>. This sets it to the last commit you were
basing the WIP changes on.
