I am a bit confused.
Suppose I change three files (out of 10 in my repository), then
git status
Would tell me that three files are modified.
I then can either
1. Commit all changes in one go
2. Or running a commit interactively, like
a. Commit all changes in file 1.
b. 50 % in file 2
c. 0% in file 3
I don't see any other possibilities (or I miss something fundamentally
here).
I am asking this, because this is the way mercurial works[1], and it does
not have a staging area (or cache or index).
So are we talking about the same functionality, just differently
implemented or is there something I miss?

[1] I don't want to discuss which concept is better. I mostly using
mercurial but sometimes I am faced with git and that is why I would
like to understand its concept better
