The way I usually handle this scenario is by actually making a temporary commit with those temporary changes. And whenever I make a permanent commit, I'll use "rebase -i" to rearrange the commits so that all my permanent commits go before my temporary commits. So when I need to push, I'll just push up till before my temporary commits.

This way I also get to make permanent changes in files that I have temporary changes.
