Hi,
I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that being able to commit only part of the changes you made at a time is one of the major points of git (at least for me, anyway), so such a feature might go against the whole design.
Also, what you could use is 'git commit -v', which allows you to review all the changes you are commiting, and allows you to write a better commit message anyway, as you can look at the changes, instead of going from memory.
Another option might be to use a gui, such as 'git gui', which gives you a clear visual of what files have unstaged changes.
Hope that helps until somebody competent replies.
Tim.
