Hmm, what might that be? :-)

A more simple approach than to buy into Python would be to introduce a 
very simple program, which exchanges work directory contents with index 
contents. So,

$ git revolve-stage
$ [test the staged revision]
$ [possibly fix a thing or two]
$ git revolve-stage
$ git commit

Opinions?

Ciao,
