This is exactly my use case as well: when some parts of the file are not
yet ready to commit, then these hunks can be deleted from the output
of 'C-x v D'.  Then the remaining patch in the *vc-diff* buffer could be
committed after temporarily moving all file changes into the stash.
After committing the selected changes, the stash should be returned back
by using `stash pop`.
