I set PyCharm's Git client to auto-stage everything, and build up my commits using PyCharm's tools. You can go through your visual diff and hit checkboxes to say "put this chunk in the commit, exclude this chunk". Or you can get one piece of your commit ready, then create a new Changeset and have any new changes go into that changeset, able to be reviewed, committed, shelved, or rolled back separately. The problem with staging is I want every file I changed in one place so I can notice what changed and look through the diff together. Not to just show up at the bottom of the list .
