Dang. So git add -p basically just skips straight to the patch portion and then -v adds a diff to the bottom of the commit message file so you can review it. Nice!
It doesn't seem to pick up new files.
It can, if you first do: git add --intent-to-add <filename>
Try git-crecord, you won't miss git add -p.
it should be clear i was too out of it to not notice s/got/git
