VC only commits the files you've selected in the VC-Dir buffer, either way.

To be clear, we're not convinced the patch should be accepted yet.

VC has a particular UI paradigm which smoothes differences between 
different VCS-es, and only Git has the staging area.

That's not to say you can't have what you want in your personal Emacs. 
Creating a command that calls vc-git-register should be trivial.
