got add -p is pretty nice too

then got commit -v to verify the hunks

Dang. So git add -p basically just skips straight to the patch portion and then -v adds a diff to the bottom of the commit message file so you can review it. Nice!

It doesn't seem to pick up new files.

It can, if you first do: git add --intent-to-add <filename>

Try git-crecord, you won't miss git add -p.

it should be clear i was too out of it to not notice s/got/git
