In some cases (all my usecases, but perhaps yours are different) the staging area can be replaced by some combination of "hg commit --amend" and "hg commit --interactive" - or in older versions "hg rollback" and "hg record".

You can get the "git stash" with the shelve extension: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ShelveExtension
