At work, we went from darcs to git, adn now back to darcs again. The
single thing I miss most about git is the 's' key in "add -p" mode.

How? Even splitting patches wasn't always fine-grained enough for me,
and it only let me split the patch into multiple hunks as defined by
diff. I sometimes wanted to further subdivide an individual hunk,
when multiple logical changes affected a single block of code, but
couldn't see a way to do it.
