[PATCH v3 2/5] git-add.txt: document 'interactive.singlekey'

From: Valentin Haenel <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:51:10
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

This is documented in the section about the 'Interactive Mode', rather than for
the option '--patch', since this is the section is where people go to learn
about '--patch'.
