Actually qgit let's you see state index for each file when committing with qgit commit dialog.
Indeed you can also choose to update only the index state of a file without committing, ie without create a new tree object.
Internally, the index state of each file is known and tracked. No other interface is provided, as example a diff, just because I found it confusing and of little concrete help.
Of course if knowning the index state became important to perform some concrete and quite common operation I could add whatever GUI would suite.
Suggestions are welcomed ;-)
