I don't know how to do this with vim either.

What I use for that purpose in vim is the :Gdiff command provided by the fugitive plugin. It splits your window between the checked out version of your file and the version in the git index. In addition to reviewing changes, it's also extremely useful for partial commits when you got carried away during your editing and made an unrelated change: you can move just the part you want to the index, then commit that, then commit the rest. Or if you made a change you want to revert without losing your other changes. The usual shortcuts from vimdiff mode are available to move things between the index and the checkout: do, dp (diff other, diff push) and ]c [c for navigating the changes.
