In case you are using TortoiseSVN:
Are you aware of TSVN's "Restore after commit" feature? See "Commit only
parts of files" here:
https://tortoisesvn.net/docs/nightly/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-commit.html

The idea is that in the commit dialog you right-click the file you don't
want to commit completely and select "Restore after commit". You then
double click that file to open up the diff-viewer and revert all the
changes you want to hold back.

I understand that you are asking for a slightly different functionality
here, but maybe helps already to some degree.
