"staging/unstaging" is how git gui calls adding/removing files to and
from the index.
I understand what you meant, but a reader of the user manual at this
point might not, since it's been consistently saying things like
"to add
the contents of a new file to the index, use git add". So we
should use
the same language here. Unless we want to update the whole thing
to use
"stage" and "unstage". I'd rather not.
Agree. But we could briefly introduce git gui's dialect, something like
"git gui lets you select files (use menu 'Commit > Stage to Commit') or
individually diff hunks (use 'Stage Hunk For Commit' in context menu of
diff view) for inclusion in the index."
