GIT: Using the stash: "So, what do you do? Throw away your current changes to make the patch? Checkout a clean copy of your project to make the changes? No! You just stash your changes away, and make the patch! Afterward you grab your changes back and continue work.
Git features The Stash, which is as much as a good place to store uncommitted changes. When you stash you changes, the will be stored, and your working copy will be reverted to HEAD (the last commit revision) of your code."
