What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Want to partial commit line 1000 and line 2000 a file of with 3000 lines, but there are many changed lines throughout the file
2. Right click, choose "Restore after commit" in Commit Dialog
3. Double click to edit file using TortoiseGitMerge
4. Select line 1 to 999, Right click, choose "Use other text block"
5. Select line 1001 to 1999, Right click, choose "Use other text block"
6. Select line 2001 to 3000, Right click, choose "Use other text block"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Work like git add -p to select hunks easily
Actual: I have to perform step 4-6, which can be error prune if there are lots of discontinuous blocks to revert. Dragging the mouse over 1000 lines is time consuming.
