Often I find it useful to selectively undo the modifications that I
did to my working tree. The -p option to 'reset' that selectively
resets changes back to a given commit. Unfortunately the option
reports itself to be incompatible with --{hard,soft,mixed} and thus
can't be applied to working tree.

Right now I do this with vimdiff, by applying 'git diff' in reverse.
Wish reset supports -p on working tree operations as well because the
-p framework (of add, and reset) feels good to use.

there's `git checkout -p` to selectively remove changes from your working tree.
(also `git stash -p` to selectively stash changes temporarily)

Surprised to know that checkout and stash supports it! Thanks a lot
for pointing out.
