Yes it helps but I still wonder whether thereis a "simpler" way to 
achive that. Is it possible to split a patch selecting the hunk in 
git gui or any other graphical tool?

You can apply the patch without commiting it, and them make several 
partial commits, by right-click "stage hunk for commit" in git-gui.

Yes, and you can do the same with "git add -i".  These tools are
not quite nice, as they encourage a wrong workflow of committing
what you haven't had as a whole in the work tree.

FWIW I have a preliminary patch for "git stash apply -i" in my personal 
next branch.  It does not quite work yet, and it is stalled, of course, 
since I am working on master until 1.5.4 is released.

Ciao,
