Hello list,

Couldn't the following two steps be done automagically by --patch:

```
git add -N path/to/untracked/file/wishing/to/partially/add
git add --patch path/to/untracked/file/wishing/to/partially/add
```

when one simply does:

`git add --patch path/to/untracked/file/wishing/to/partially/add`

?

Cheers,
Vito Caputo
