I run the following:

$ git add -p

I skip the first hunk by typing "n". At the next hunk, I try "k" and
"K". In both cases, it shows me the same hunk I'm on again and says
"No previous hunk".

Is this intended behavior? I expect to be taken back to the previous
hunk that I did not stage.

Running Git 2.1.0 on msysgit Windows.

Sorry, I just realized that when the hunks are across file boundaries,
it won't go back to it. I think this is a bit misleading, it would be
great to see it go back to the ACTUAL previous hunk, regardless of
which file it came from.
