Might be more surrounding context aligned to say "stage hunk lines" here (phrase "stage", instead of "select to use").

This is just something I`ve spotted, but I have no actual idea if renaming this to "stage_hunk_lines" might be better, too, or not (depending on the surrounding code context), so please take this with a big grain of salt.
