Selectively committing diff hunks also means that a subsequent rebase
-i or git-cherry will have to reconsider the same commit as it has
only been incompletely applied.

So it can mean more work later.  Also one would in general have to
edit the commit message (if it describes everything that has been
done).

There are simply consequences for the workflow if you do things
right.  Whether they are worth a "big fat red warning" is one
question, but mentioning them is probably not amiss.
