git-gui is a good tool here (so good, in fact, that this is the second
time today I spam the list about it). It shows very pedagogically the
diff between HEAD and index, and the diff between index and working
dir, and allows you to point and click your way to committing
precisely the subset of changes you intended to commit. As an added
bonus, it's perfectly usable even if you don't know anything about
emacs.
