What about working on a (temp) branch and then selectively merging what you want over?

Steps would be:
Make temp branch
Switch to temp branch
Commit all
Switch to main branch
Selectively merge files/lines from temp to main
Commit main.
"Copy merge" from temp to main to overwrite workspace with stuff from temp in order to recreate modified files (i.e. files that you only merged a few lines from) that existed initially.
Rm temp branch
Keep working.

Most of that should be scriptable.
