git record -i doesn't work after git add -N

[JaniM]

Description of the bug

I often want to stage a part of a new file when reconstructing commits. git record -i doesn't recognize untracked files, but it also doesn't launch if I have added, but not staged, a file.

> echo foo > foo
> git add -N foo
> git record -i
Cannot select changes interactively while there are already staged changes.
Either commit or unstage your changes and try again. Aborting.

Expected behavior

The record TUI should launch and show the added file.

Actual behavior

The TUI doesn't launch.

Thanks for the report. I think that git amend has a related issue being tracked in #356

@JaniM if you want to fix it, there are details in the issue @claytonrcarter linked.

That could be fun. I'll give it a spin.
