Actually, if you don't mind, I changed the commit message because 'git
apply' is not really to blame here:

Staging hunks without context does not work, because line number
information would have to be recomputed for individual hunks.  Since it is
already possible to stage individual lines using 'Stage Line for Commit',
zero context diffs are not really necessary for git gui, however.
