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`.

For this case `git stash` is enough.
