This is unrelated to git. What do you mean by change list?

Dunno what you mean by this being unrelated to Git.

In Git, you can stage files (git add). You have only one “staging area”. In Perforce, you can also stage files (of sorts). You can create as many “staging areas” (changelists) as you want. Changelists are publicly visible, if so desired, before they are even “committed” (submitted, in P4 jargon).

Changelists work on entire files, unlike what TFA proposes.

This tool is for splitting patches. It's a tool for working with patches and not one for working with git. Now of course patches are used with git.
