I've been using sourcetree lately, really, really enjoying it - though line committing is pretty cool, I have apps hosted in places other than github though.

sourcetree has line committing, when in commit/diff view drag on the lines you want and right click, you can commit only a few lines, even if they are only part of a hunk.

> Option-Z commits instead of undos when entering a commit message. Cmd-z. Opt-z types ohm: Ω. I wonder why they did that.

That's omega, which is used as a symbol for ohms. It's also [and originally] the last letter in the Greek alphabet.

Also, Ohms measure impedance, and an impedance value is noted Z.

Most of the alt/alt+shift combinations on the Mac keyboard layout make sense.

I see, thanks. I originally wrote omega (I knew it was the last letter, alpha/omega and such), but changed it after checking the character viewer in OS X, which called it an ohm.

Capital letter omega is U+3A9: Ω

Ohm sign is U+2126: Ω

They probably look identical in most (if not all) fonts, but they're treated as two separate characters in Unicode.

Sort of. -p considers consecutive lines a single hunk. Often, that's not what I want. Luckily, there is magit: http://philjackson.github.com/magit/

You can split the hunks into smaller ones.

You can split hunks until they're consecutive lines. You can't split more granularly than that with -p. You'd need to edit the patch, either directly or with git gui or similar.
