Hello,

I have this feature idea for git. There should be a command that effectively combines git add -p and git checkout -p so that I can navigate changed hunks and either stage or discard them.

There is already a SO question asking about this exactly... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11538650/simultaneously-git-add-p-and-git-checkout-p

Has this been discussed before? Is this a reasonable request? If so, I might look into contributing the change myself.
