Once you've added the other two hunks, they'll no longer show up in git-diff, so you can do something like this:

$ git-add -i; # add the other two hunks to commit $ git-diff > middle-hunk.patch $ git-apply -R middle-hunk.patch test, test, test $ git-apply middle-hunk.patch

Completely untested, so take a copy before you try it.
