I agree! My success rate at trying to split changes into two compilable commits is probably like 50%. Unfortunately, I don't think stashing helps much either.

I agree! My success rate at trying to split changes into two compilable commits is probably like 50%. Unfortunately, I don't think stashing helps much either. It's still too cumbersome to stash only some changes. If you're successful on the first shot, awesome. But much like the partial commit case, if the changes you left unstashed don't actually compile or pass tests, adjusting the partition between the changes to commit and not to commit is still a huge pain.
