Staging-Bereich would be Denglish - half German and halb Englisch.

In any case, the term staging area is highly confusing in this context:
It really is the index, and in this case the user has not "staged
anything for commit" in the index. The index is used for storing
information during the 3way merge. This is why we refused to replace
"index/cache" by "staging area" in the original git documentation.

The de l10n team decided to use "Staging-Area" as the translation for
"index" (as far as I can see), and therefore I kept this term: It is
important to translate the same concept in the same way consistently in
all places. Changing the translation of "index" would be a major
decision and a major patch. (I'd vote for "Index".)
