`git add -i` FTW

[pne]

Today, I wanted to commit part of a changed file but not the rest.

Thank goodness I’m using git locally rather than Subversion or SourceSafe, because it actually lets me do that—with git add -i (interactive add mode), I can choose to add only certain patch “hunks” of a file to the index (the staging area containing data to be committed).

Took me a bit of doc-reading to figure out how, but I got it to work in the end.

Yay!

Oh yay! I love that feature in git and mercurial (well, in mercurial it's hg record, but same diff more or less!)
