Unless I have misunderstood your feature request, that feature exists, and it's called "worktrees"

Worktrees allow you to have multiple branches open potentially with dirty state on any or all of them

No I don't think that is a similar feature. It looks like worktrees are put on different paths and by default do not operate on the same commit.

My feature request is about having n stages instead of one so uncommitted work can be organized better while staying in the usual working copy.

How would I accomplish this with worktrees?
