You are absolutely right.  That is another reason why having the 
individual files tracked separately from the main project would be a 
good thing if I can get it to work.  (It would be kind of like having a 
git-stash on a per-file basis.)

When you have more than one functions defined in a file, and the
interactive Lisp development cycle works primarily on s-exp basis, not
necessarily constrained by file boundaries, don't you want even finer
grained control than "stash per-file"?

I don't think of a good solution myself, but I find your "finer than whole
tree" an interesting topic.
