Also, i've found that being able to stage regions /within hunks/ for staging, and thus being able to group together conceptually related changes easily, without needing to: * go through multiple 'push stash -> delete unwanted -> pop stash' cycles, and/or * deal with unneeded branch management bureaucracy, helps me efficiently maintain a relatively clean commit history. Thanks for your work on magit, i really appreciate it. :-) Alexis.
