If we ignore this particular case, how would a "git hold <file>..." feature do?
--
$ git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#	modified:   package/qt/qt.mk
#
# Changed but on hold:
#   (use "git add --holds <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#
#	modified:   CHANGES
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Would there be other use-cases?
