How to stage git commits using meld (like git add -p)?

Question

git add -p allows to stage selected parts of working tree changes to the index so that an uncommitted set of changes can be split into multiple commits.

Instead of git add -p, I would like to use meld or another graphical diff tool available on Linux (e.g. kdiff3) to stage changes.

I'm particularly keen to use a tool like meld that has a live intra-line diff viewer and those little arrows and x marks that let you merge and delete chunks of code quickly (or something very similar to that).

How can I do that?

The git-meld-index project allows meld to be used in order to incrementally update the index.

Meld doesn't have such integration. However, you can use git gui.

On Linux, there is also Gitg.

On Windows and OS X, the GitHub app has this feature.
