It would be even more cool if --hunks (or whatever the name will be) could work without -p. I mean, if "git diff" supports it, then I can fine tune my regex to meet a selection of hunks I want, and verify it really is what I want. Then "git add --hunks=magic" and voila! (The "git add --hunks" without -p surely can be workaround by adding "-p", then accept all hunks).

And if diff machinery learns this, we would have "git log --hunks" too.
OK I'm asking too much..
