[PATCH 0/3] Manual editing for 'add' and 'add -p'

Thomas, do you want to just re-submit the "--recount" patches when you
re-submit your patch?

If that is the right thing to do :-)

I rebased Johannes' patches to current 'next', which had some trivial
merge conflicts, and made one actual change: By analogy with one
earlier patch that caused some of the conflicts, I split '-e' and
'--edit' across two lines in the documentation.

I also integrated your last suggestion:

# Abort if nothing remains
if (!grep { /\S/ } @newtext) {
  return undef;
}

I'm not really convinced it is needed, but any such patch can
obviously not change anything, so it can't hurt.  Who knows, perhaps
there are editors brain-damaged enough to always save at least one
newline.  (This is the only change to my patch compared to v4.)

To spare you following that link: Junio wanted to reuse "git apply 
--recount" to apply mboxes, where a separator "^-- $" to the signature is 
quite common, and could be mistaken for a "-" line of a hunk.

However, I think that this issue should not concern us _now_.  As long as 
--recount is only to be used in "add -i" and "add -e", I think the patch 
is good as is:

I'm wondering if this should be turned into docs.  After all, it's not
some DWIM option.  It just says that instead of trusting the counts,
lines starting with "diff " or "@@ " start hunks, implying that all
/^[-+ ]/ lines in between are significant.


I hope this series turns out right in mail; I'm struggling a bit to
properly import the mails to KMail.  Most annoyingly, format-patch
apparently cannot turn other people's patches into mails by myself
with an appropriate "From:" line. :-(

  Allow git-apply to ignore the hunk headers (AKA recountdiff)
  git-add: introduce --edit (to edit the diff vs. the index)

  git-add--interactive: manual hunk editing mode
