That sounds sensible to me.

I see. BTW I only realised by now that the fact that 
a buffer in diff-mode is in read-only mode is not essential but not a
required feature. 

I say this, because sometimes the diff file contains a lot of hunks and
I only want to commit 2 of say 20.

Then toggling read-only off and just delete the hunks via kill-region,
simplify things a lot (instead of killing each hunk separately, using
next-hunk and kill-hunk).
