Hey,

can you guys add -at least- in the git add interactive mode

a feature to only accept add or remove changes

or is this too much patch tooling ?

Kind Regards
Florian

Context

I'm today end up in editing about 99 hunks via add -p, which is for the 
confusion about
`@@ +55,4 -52,2 @@`
quite hard if I want to using the self checking behavior of the patch format

But not only that, what I would guess is now days not used anymore in 
patch tooling, it is also
the count of hunks I would end up with understand and need to edit,

so if we exhausted this feature it would be a pleasure to add this not 
only to the interactive mode

This is about a README.md file so it is more an unexpected file for git, 
but I think this is useful with
much longer files that are from my experience are also used in companies
(translation files, historical grown source code, ...)
