You can see all the files and drill down with "git add -i". Git also highlights whitespace problems.

I was excited when I first heard about git add iteractive mode but I find the interface to be quite unintuitive and idiosyncratic. I just stick to using "git add -p" to stage hunks selectively in a much more straightforward manner.
Having said that, I stage all my commits on command line, and generally go to a GUI rarely for certain visualization tasks.
