This allows to stage only certain changes to a file by only adding the desired parts to the index with git-gui, ugit, git add -i or another tool that manipulates the index and then run stg refresh --index it also allows removing a file from a patch by running git reset HEAD^ -- file_to_remove followed by a stg refresh --index

Good since it was useful for me too even while writing this patch :-)

In the beginning i was afraid it would be to obscure to call it this way with all parameters set to some specific values. But having more parameters does not make it better :-) Done

Patch now comes with a Signed-off-by and a log message that explains how this feature could be used. It was tested with the testcase, used during development of this patch and on another repo, but still take care when using it :-)
