Re: git add -p with new file

Perhaps the latter is not advertised well enough?  "add -p" does not
even page so it is not very useful way to check what is being added
if you are adding a new file (unless you are doing a toy example to
add a 7-line file).

I use "add -p" routinely for my final add-and-sanity-check,...
... To me they are all tools in the toolbox, and I can pick the one that
works best in any given situation, or that I just feel like using that
day.

Oh, there is no question about that.  I was just pointing out that
"add -p" is not the "one that works best" when dealing with a path
that is not yet even in the index.
