I for one would really hate if the apply-at-the-end approach currently
used would be swapped around to "apply-as-we-go", because I sometimes
realize I'm committing a feature on top of a bugfix I've forgotten to
commit (or some such). I know I'd forget quite a few times to revert
the added changes after Ctrl-C'ing out of such cases if the current
approach is changed.

I know that wasn't what was proposed but at least anyone who
proposes it will at least think twice now before doing so, and
hopefully providing a SIGHUP hook to restore the index+worktree
to exactly what they were at the start of the interactive session.
