Ahh.  I was wondering...

No.  I do not do this myself, but this one-liner should work:

	git diff --name-only "$@" | git update-index --stdin

YMMV depending on the MUA you use, of course.

I start [REPLY], have my MUA quote the original and write
response while trimming excess quote, just as usual.  When I
need to add a patch, then I remove all that with \C-w
(kill-region), read a format-patch output into the same mail
buffer, and then \C-y (yank) to paste the "usual correspondence"
part below the three-dash lines.  Yes, it's all manual.  I
presume it would be easy to write a few-liner Emacs macro to do
this though...
