During the day I work with multiple computers a latop and two desktops. Currently I keep all my repositories in my dropbox folder (I don't push pull to dropbox) so I can keep my uncommited changes synced between machines. I want to drop dropbox in favor of git-annex but due to limitations of git I can not keep my source folder in git-annex thus no way to sync uncommited changes using git-annex. Is there a technique for syncing uncommited stuff across computers with git alone without messing the history for the other developers.

1Can you use a source control system to sync files it doesn't know about? I strongly suspect the answer is no... – David M Aug 02 '13 at 15:57

Why don't you just use your own repository? – urzeit Aug 02 '13 at 15:58

just commit it to your own branch, and push/pull that. Why would it affect anyone else? – Useless Aug 02 '13 at 15:59

As long as you are working in your separate branch, you can commit changes while they are not actually ready. To reduce number of work-in-progress commits, you have 2 choices:
- Amend your work-in-progress commit every time. But that would require you to force-push your branch. That is only acceptable if no one else uses your branch.
- Keep making commits until you're done. Then, when merging your branch to master, squeeze all your commits to a single one.
