You can do this with the current -g option by adding a commit range, e.g.
-g=commit1..commit2. AFAIK, the only thing you can't do currently with -g
is pass a commit range *and* include the staged/working copy changes.

Under the hood it basically does what you described (create a new branch,
copy the commits over as a single commit, upload from the branch, etc).
