"But... but... staging... the index... how... wha..." When you're finally proficient in a nigh-incomprehensible tool like command line git, it sounds as if something's missing in Emacs somehow.Yes, Git is brainwashing us.
I don't think it's fair. Git provides good tools. Just the other day I was thinking of how to commit only a part of changes in a file. Git makes it easy with 'git add -p', using the staging area.
Not sure what the closest VCS-neutral approach would be. Selecting chunks somehow in a vc-diff buffer?
