Just don't ever use `edit`, use `new` instead; then your changes are tracked without making a mess. I think that's much nicer than juggling stashes in git.

As a git-ist (?), if I'd ever move away from git, it would be to avoid tooling that has idioms like this (like git too has), if `jj` just gonna surface a bunch of new "bad ideas" (together with what seems like really good ideas), kind of makes it feel like it isn't worth picking up unless you don't already know git.
