Re: [PATCH 0/2] Use the built-in implementation of the interactive add command by default

Hi Dscho,

Over two years ago, Slavica Đukić participated in the Outreachy project,
starting to implement a built-in version of the interactive git add command.
A little over a year ago, Git turned on that mode whenever users were
running with feature.experimental = true.

It is time to declare this implementation robust, to use it by default, and
to start deprecating the scripted implementation.

I just noticed that 'INSTALL' mentions that Perl is needed for 'git add interactive'
et al, so maybe we would want to tweak the wording a bit in there when switch the default
to the C version ?

Cheers,
Philippe.
