Hi,

I have been looking for such a command/option and no one gave me
sufficient answer. So this message should be considered as a feature
request. I had a situation where I had staged a file with a problem
solution in it, then I wanted to experiment with a different solution
so I had to revert the file to its HEAD state and I couldn't find a
way that preserves the staged state of that file. More discussions:
