Here we go:

- cherry-pick them before commit

  $ git cherry-pick -n x
  $ git cherry-pick -n y
  $ git cherry-pick -n z
  $ git commit -m "$(for c in x y z; do git show --stat $c; done)" -e

- merge in a single commit

  $ git merge --squash foo

You didn't really think that git couldn't do that, did you? ;)
