I know this is probably a FAQ and I thought I found it somewhere once,
but... How do I commit changes from in my working directory to another
(possibly non-existent) branch?

All too often I am working on changes and realize I am sitting on master
or a topic branch and I need to commit my mods to different branch.  I
really don't like:

   git commit
   git branch <other-branch>
   git reset --hard HEAD^

Is there anything like:
   git commit -b <other-branch> [<file>...]?

If not, would patches to implement such a change be accepted?

   You can do this simply by doing the following:

git checkout -b <other-branch>
git commit

The changes in your working tree will be carried over to <other- branch> when you do the git-checkout command.
