[Libreoffice] [PATCH] git-hooks: don't stage unstaged hunks before commit

Hi Kendy,

Here is a git pre-commit patch. The motivation is that I regularly use
git add -p to stage a part of a file, then git commit to commit the
staged changes only. The hook staged the entire file till now in case I
introduced a whitespace error. The patch should fix this issue.

OK to push to master?

Thanks.

We call 'git add' for files where we fixed whitespaces in. This is a
problem in case the user staged only part of a file - as a result we do
not just fix up whitespace in the patch but also stage other hunks of
the file.

Fix the problem by removing/restoring not staged changes before/after
whitespace fixing. The operation is cheap enough, as it's a noop in case
there are no unstaged changes.
