Fine, some other wording may suit better; doesn't matter if
you don't even agree that the message needs to be different.

Right now, both panes say "Portions staged for commit".

In fact, while one pane does indeed show the portions staged
for commit, the other one is actually showing portions *not*
staged for commit.  To some of my users, that is certainly
confusing.

I guess confusion, like beauty, is in the eyes of the
beholder...
