The patch I was referring to is 2c8bd8471a ("checkout -p: handle new

I tested seen at 3981657b13 ("Merge branch 'rp/apply-cached-doc' into
seen", 2020-08-21). I was using the C version of 'add -p' which is
opt-in at the moment by setting add.interactive.usebuiltin=true in your
config (or with git -c). I hope that helps, I'm going off line now for
10-14 days

Indeed, this works and restores my workflow (although it errors out if I
don't manually edit the range information, which isn't necessary with
diffs to existing files). It's a bit unsatisfying as it stands, but
perhaps there are patches I can write.
