Is it possible to roll back unstaged changes while leaving the staged ones for the next commit?

Hello Everyone,

I'm attempting to use `git add -i` to help me resolve the differences between two files in a way that makes sense (leaving class names, some logic, but changing other things like white space, etc.). I have all of the changes that I want to be committed staged now in the index. My question is this: is it possible to revert the changes that I haven't staged so that the file looks as if everything inside of it has been staged because none of the stuff I didn't stage is there anymore.

Thanks in advance!
