I've been using git for a few months now and think I've mostly gotten a handle on how it does things. There's one workflow I'm used to from ~10 years of using perforce that I miss when using git, though: With perforce I often have a bunch of files modified (having p4 add'd or p4 edit'd them) and then only commit a subset of them. I can do this interactively by doing a p4 submit and just removing the files I don't want to check in from the list in the changelist description when I'm writing up the change description in $EDITOR, invoked by p4 submit. It seems like my options with git are to invoke git commit with a specific list of things to commit, invoke git commit --interactive and use the interactive menu thing to shuffle stuff around, or manually unstage things until I have the index in a state where a git commit without other arguments will do what I want. Am I missing an obvious way to get a p4-like behavior where I can just remove the files from a list as part of preparing the commit in my $EDITOR? The above options I've found do get the job done but I've found them to be a bit less convenient than what I'm used to.
