I'm generally also one of the git sceptics - Though I loved staging for a while as for the fine grained control. `git add --all` just might not do the right thing - for paranoids like me. Just recently got to know you can skip the staging by appending the paths of the changed files you want to commit after `git commit -m "awesome commit"` - neat.

You can skip the explicit staging using

  git commit --patch

then interactively select the specific changes by diff hunk.

It combines with --amend.
