Partial commits made easy

A nice feature in Perforce is that as you bring up the editor for a commit
message, all the files to be committed are listed below the check in
comment, just as in Mercurial. However, if you remove any files from the
list, they aren't committed and stay in their modified state. Compare with
git's "add" command. It's quite a nice feature to have when you want to
commit a subset of a list of files for which there are no simple wildcards.
I've yet to dive into the Hg codebase, since I've had major troubles getting
a compatible build environment up and running, otherwise I'd give it a shot
myself. Or does anyone else volunteer?
