I have proposed before to extend 'git stage', so you can do 'git stage diff', or if you alias 'git stage' to 'git s', just 'git s diff'. This would not conflict with the old behavior of 'git stage $file'.

case "$1" in
add)
        shift
        git add $@
        ;;
rm)
        shift
        git rm --cached $@
        ;;
diff)
        shift
        git diff --cached $@
        ;;
import)
        shift
        git ls-files --modified --others --exclude-standard -z $@ | \
        git update-index --add --remove -z --stdin
        ;;
ls)
        shift
        git ls-files --stage $@
        ;;
*)
        git add $@
        ;;
esac

Cheers.
