I actually like it.

Maybe "precommit area", or "precommit something", because "precommit"
could be seen either as an action (like the pre-commit hook) or as a
place to put stuff.

As a non-native speaker, I didn't know what "staging area" really meant
in english, but the "area" part of the expression immediately made sense
to me. Had it been called the "foobar-ing area", I would have found it
more intuitive than cache or index ;-).
