There is no such. There are a lot of tools to manipulate commits and WIP, such as the stash, rebase, cherry pick, extracting and applying patch. You only need clean commits for review and the main branch because that helps the whole team. Your local copy can be as messy as you want to.

The incentive for me is just that it's not the most fun to use git's rebase tools to move things between commits. I'm pretty OK at rebase, but I still would way way rather not try to rebase move a file from one commit to another. And if I did, I'd probably do something hacky to copy the file out rather than try to use git to checkout the file from a rev.

Where-as jj makes rework operations, IMO, basically easy enough (after a couple weeks of use to) that I worry much less about making the right commit the first time.
