There is no problem with having temporary commits on local branches,
however.

Quite frequently, I'll "git commit -a -m 'Temp commit'; git checkout
other-branch".  As long as you don't make these temporary commits
public, it's very easy to munge them (See: "git rebase --interactive
<commitish>", and "git reset --soft <commitish>").
