Re: git add -p—splitting hunks, limit is too large

Splitting to single lines means you need to remember to add the matched
pairs, which might be arbitrarily far apart.  That's not really any
different than dumping the hunk in your editor, but I find there that
it's easy to rearrange and group things as appropriate.

My main use case for this would be to split a plain addition into
several small additions.  Which would be much easier with the
menu-driven approach.

(Mostly I just use magit, but sometimes I want to do this on machines
without emacs set up.)
