List the files to refresh and you get what you want.

	stg refresh file1 file2...

	stg refresh -e

I agree mixing stgit and git is not really comfy until you learn it and still
I mess things up somtimes. Also rebase seems quite a bit faster than stgit, but I
have not intuitive understanding for rebase so I get scared everytime. Having
a gui that lets me mark commits and "drag" them to the new location would
be nice.
