Is there an easy way to move work in progress from one machine to another?
One way to do it might be something like this:

machine1$ git checkout -b movewip machine1$ git add . machine1$ git commit -m "Moving work in progress" machine1$ git push origin movewip:movewip

machine2$ git fetch origin movewip:movewip: machine2$ git checkout movewip machine2$ git reset HEAD^ machine2$ git stash machine2$ git checkout master machine2$ git stash pop

# go through and delete movewip branches on machine1, machine2, and the origin server

Except for some possible typos, this seems like it would work, but seems to be awfully clumsy. Is there a more elegant way to accomplish this?

It seems to me that if I could git-stash on machine1, take that stash with me (somehow) to machine2, and then pop it there, that would be easier. --wpd
