Yes but... I can't edit those hunks and take this part but not that
part.  At least there was one case where 2 changes were on the same line
and I wanted to stage only the first edit for commit 1 and then stage
the second edit for commit 2.  I couldn't find a way to do this in magit.

If changes are isolated to single lines it works fine.  Now I have to
figure out how to specify emacsclient for my editor during rebase in
magit -- right now it fails to open the editor due to a wrong path and
bails.
