Issue with staging, unstaging, discarding hunks with no context

[Daniel Dinnyes <dinnyesd@gmail.com>]

The problem I have is described in more detail in the issue here with magit:
https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/4222

The conclusion there was that this is an upstream problem due to some
recent changes in git.

As it has been mentioned in the issue itself, it is understood that
git had problems with handling hunks without context, so I assume this
upstream change was to eliminate such issues.

Yet my experience was that hunks without context worked fine before
80% of the time, except if they were right next to each other, they
might get mixed/messed up. Even in that case, I found that if I
staged/unstaged hunks in top-down order in magit it didn't cause
problems.

Without handling no-context hunks, I see I will have to stash/redo
entire change-sets, to be able to commit logically separate hunks
separately. This would be a major PITA.

Is there a plan to reintroduce handling of hunks with 0 line context
in the future, or is this something which is technically not going to
be possible ever?

Cheers,
Dan
