So you are used to do something like (please correct me if I'm wrong):
- modify A
- modify B
- modify C
- modify D
- modify E

$ git A B E
$ git add A B E (A, B and E are now in the staging area)
$ git commit -m "I just modified A,B and E"
$ git C D
$ git add C D (C and D are now in the staging area)
$ git commit -m "I just modified C and D"

Ciao,
