I didnt have time for a deeper look yet, but I'll try to explain my ideas a bit more:
Suppose I choose to work on an branch "one" (which probably is synced to some remote). That will create some temporary (local) WIP branch, where each file change from the IDE (working in a separate workdir or maybe completely w/o one) gets committed immediately. Now I click some "commit" button and it asks me what exactly to commit - I now can interactively selected changes to be committed (maybe even on single changelets within a file), they'll be squashed together (maybe involving some rebase magic) and an commit final commit object is created on the "one" branch. After this, the local WIP branch gets rebased to latest "one".
