I work roughly similar.  I hack away on a branch that contains
all kinds of ugly and unfinished changes.  Then to get more
organized, I create another branch (off of master) and merge or
cherry-pick the changes from the other branch.  The git manual
describes this in the "creating the perfect patch series"
chapter.

Hmm.  Do you mean something like
  git checkout [-b newbranch] origin/master

?
