Hello,
I'm very new to Git... but start to love it :)

Before committing sometimes I want to remove a specific hunk. Say in file a.txt I have in the diff 3 hunks, I want to revert/delete/remove the second one. Is there a way to do that ?

I understand that I can git add interactive and select the hook I want to commit, but this is not fully equivalent. I'm not yet ready to commit I just want to undo a specific change and test the code without it...

Any idea ?

Thanks, Pascal.
