The "untracked reflog" is partially functional now [1] if you want to
have a look. I'm not going to post the series until post-2.20, but if
you do look, I suggest the first patch that lays out the design and a
plumbing command to manage it. Basically you'll do
git backup-log --id=worktree log <some-path>
then pick up the version you like with "git backup-log cat" and do
whatever you want with it. High level UI is not there and will be a
topic of discussion.
The precious/trashable/garbage notion can be used to suppress making backups.
