Couldn't Git be a little more friendly?

You can choose to ignore an uncommitted file through the `git update-index --assume-unchanged` command. But AFAIK, Git doesn't allow one to ignore uncommitted _lines_ in tracked files. If this feature were implemented, a post commit hook could write in the latest commit hash and git wouldn't care.

Is this something that is worth pursuing?
