That said, I have to admit that I usually (a) don't do this very often (ie this is not part of my daily routine) and (b) I tend to do "git reset" fairly soon afterwards (or alternatively, just "git commit -a") to get back to the situation where the index will match the current HEAD 100% again. So the "index doesn't match HEAD" situation is always just a _temporary_ thing for me.
A staging area is per definition meant to keep temporary things before they are committed to their designated place so there's nothing odd about that.
