committing some lines

[John W]

I like Mercurial Queues for this sort of thing, though they're not so
well-advertised these days.
You can build patches interactively (qrecord), move them around
relative to each other, collapse them down to a single commit easily,
etc. Really powerful if you're comfortable thinking of your changes as
a list of patches.

I wonder if it would help for the original use-case in this thread,
but I'm not familiar with monkey, so not sure.
