Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Add 'g' command to go to a hunk.

When a minor change is made while the working directory is in a bit of a mess (and the user should have done a stash before making the minor edit, but didn't) it is somewhat difficult to wade through all of the hunks using git add --patch. This allows one to jump to the hunk that needs to be staged without having to respond 'n' to each preceding hunk.
