I tried experimenting with the colors, but nothing I did seemed to convey
'not
selected for commit' like the strikethrough does. Perhaps the font size can
be made smaller? Perhaps the chunk could be "folded up" somehow, but it
needs to be 'undoable' so the user can un-reject the chunk.
Should the diff pane be 'tabbed' and allow you to move chunks from one tab
to the
other, then be able to commit/shelve the contents of either tab (the shelf
itself could be a third tab)?
Do any other tools offer similar functionality?
Anyone have any brilliant ideas?
