How can I use “git add --patch” in PhpStorm

Question

I am in the process of migrating our old environment from SVN + eclipse to Git + PhpStorm. I read many tutorials about Git and just recently found the git add --patch command. Is it possible to use it in PhpStorm through the GUI?

I already tried to do it manually using a terminal window inside of PhpStorm, but when I than use the VCS | Commit Changes VCS | Commit Changes window, it will just add the rest of the lines to the staging area and commit all hunks.

There is actually some progress, the feature you mentioned is now in the EAP release.
