You can't do this with "git add -p" now, but I suspect the patch would
be relatively straightforward. See patch_update_file in
git-add--interactive.perl. You just need to replace:
for (@{$head->{DISPLAY}}) {
print;
}
with code to dump the diff in @{$head->{TEXT}} either to stdin of your
display program or to a tempfile that your program operates on.
Conditional on having some config option to specify your program, of
course.
Or did you want something more integrated with vimdiff? If you want to
primarily see the diff in vim and then have mappings set up to stage or
revert changes, that is pretty straightforward to do. Just have vim dump
the relevant hunk to "git apply --cached" or "git apply -R". I would be
surprised if the vim integration packages didn't have something like
this already.
