Re: git add --patch displays diff and exits

Sorry, please disregard---this is a duplicate of some other messages already sent to the list. Setting "color.ui = auto" fixed the issue for me.

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to report this issue, so apologies in advance if it isn't.

Recently, I upgraded from git 2.14.1 to 2.14.2, and noticed that "git add --patch" does not work properly. It just prints a diff of what's changed and exits, instead of presenting the dialogs to add changes to the index. I did some bisecting and tracked the bug down to this commit: https://github.com/git/git/commit/136c8c8b8fa39f1315713248473dececf20f8fe7.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the codebase and don't know C well enough to debug the issue. Please let me know what additional information I can provide to help you all figure it out.
Thanks!
