* tr/reset-checkout-patch:
stash: simplify defaulting to "save" and reject unknown options
Make test case number unique

DWIM 'git stash save -p' for 'git stash -p'

git-apply--interactive: Refactor patch mode code
Make 'git stash -k' a short form for 'git stash save --keep-index'
This adds a hunk-based mode to git-stash. You can select hunks from
the difference between HEAD and worktree, and git-stash will build a
stash that reflects these changes. The index state of the stash is
the same as your current index, and we also let --patch imply
--keep-index.
Note that because the selected hunks are rolled back from the worktree
but not the index, the resulting state may appear somewhat confusing
if you had also staged these changes. This is not entirely
satisfactory, but due to the way stashes are applied, other solutions
would require a change to the stash format.

This introduces a --patch mode for git-checkout. In the index usage
git checkout --patch -- [files...]
it lets the user discard edits from the <files> at the granularity of
hunks (by selecting hunks from 'git diff' and then reverse applying
them to the worktree).
We also accept a revision argument. In the case
git checkout --patch HEAD -- [files...]
we offer hunks from the difference between HEAD and the worktree, and
reverse applies them to both index and worktree, allowing you to
discard staged changes completely. In the non-HEAD usage
git checkout --patch <revision> -- [files...]
it offers hunks from the difference between the worktree and
<revision>. The chosen hunks are then applied to both index and
worktree.
The application to worktree and index is done "atomically" in the
sense that we first check if the patch applies to the index (it should
always apply to the worktree). If it does not, we give the user a
choice to either abort or apply to the worktree anyway.

This introduces a --patch mode for git-reset. The basic case is
git reset --patch -- [files...]
which acts as the opposite of 'git add --patch -- [files...]': it
offers hunks for *un*staging. Advanced usage is
git reset --patch <revision> -- [files...]
which offers hunks from the diff between the index and <revision> for
forward application to the index. (That is, the basic case is just
<revision> = HEAD.)

In 0392513 (add-interactive: refactor mode hunk handling, 2009-04-16),
we merged the interaction loops for mode changes and hunk staging.
This was fine at the time, because 0beee4c (git-add--interactive:
remove hunk coalescing, 2008-07-02) removed hunk coalescing.
However, in 7a26e65 (Revert "git-add--interactive: remove hunk
coalescing", 2009-05-16), we resurrected it. Since then, the code
would attempt in vain to merge mode changes with diff hunks,
corrupting both in the process.
We add a check to the coalescing loop to ensure it only looks at diff
hunks, thus skipping mode changes.

Most fields are fairly straightforward, but APPLY gets a subroutine

The original implementation considered the mode separately
from the rest of the hunks, asking about it outside the main
hunk-selection loop. This patch instead places a mode change
as the first hunk in the loop. This has two advantages:
1. less duplicated code (since we use the main selection
loop). This also cleans up an inconsistency, which is
that the main selection loop separates options with a
comma, whereas the mode prompt used slashes.
2. users can now skip the mode change and come back to it,
search for it (via "/mode"), etc, as they can with other
hunks.
To facilitate this, each hunk is now marked with a "type".
Mode hunks are not considered for splitting (which would
make no sense, and also confuses the split_hunk function),
nor are they editable. In theory, one could edit the mode
lines and change to a new mode. In practice, there are only
two modes that git cares about (0644 and 0755), so either
you want to move from one to the other or not (and you can
do that by staging or not staging).

They can be reproduced by setting color.ui (or color.interactive) to "auto"

I am using Perl 5.10.0.
The reason of the warning is that color.interactive.error defaults to
color.interactive.help which defaults to nothing in the specific codepath.
It defaults to 'red bold' some lines above which could lead to the wrong

Adds a new option 'e' to the 'add -p' command loop that lets you edit
the current hunk in your favourite editor.
If the resulting patch applies cleanly, the edited hunk will
immediately be marked for staging. If it does not apply cleanly, you
will be given an opportunity to edit again. If all lines of the hunk
are removed, then the edit is aborted and the hunk is left unchanged.
Applying the changed hunk(s) relies on Johannes Schindelin's new
--recount option for git-apply.
Note that the "real patch" test intentionally uses
(echo e; echo n; echo d) | git add -p
even though the 'n' and 'd' are superfluous at first sight. They
serve to get out of the interaction loop if git add -p wrongly
concludes the patch does not apply.

When a path is examined in the patch subcommand, any mode changes in
the file are given to use in the diff header by git-diff. If no hunks
are staged, then we throw out that header and do not touch the
path. But if _any_ hunks are staged, we use the header, and the mode
is changed together with the contents.
Since the 'p'atch command should just be dealing with hunks that are
shown to the user, it makes sense to just ignore mode changes
entirely. We do squirrel away the mode, though, since the next patch
will allow users to select the mode update separately.

Users with color.diff set to true/auto will not see color in
"git add -i" unless they also set color.interactive.
This changes the semantics of color.interactive to control only the
coloring of the interaction aspect of the command and let color.diff
to control the color of hunk picker, which would arguably be more
convenient.
Old $use_color variable is now renamed to $menu_use_color to make it
clear that it is about coloring the interaction.
The "colored" subroutine now checks if the passed color is defined,
instead of checking $use_color variable, to decide if the lines should
be colored. The various variables that define colors for different
parts of the output are set or unset depending on the setting of
color.interactive and color.diff configuration variables.

However, 4af756f3 changed this to simply run "git diff-files"

This makes the internal diff color variables obsolete with

recreate the fragment for each part of the split. Thus we

Rather than replicating the colorization logic of "git diff-files" we
rely on "git diff-files" itself. This guarantees consistent colorization
in and outside "git add -i".
Seeing as speed is not a concern here (the bottleneck is how fast the
user can read, not how fast "git diff-files" runs) we do this by
actually running it twice, once without color and once with.
In this way as the whitespace colorization provided by "git diff-files"
evolves (per-path attributes, new classes of whitespace error), "git
add -i" will automatically benefit from it and stay in synch.
Also, by working with two sets of diff output (an uncolorized one for
internal processing and a colorized one for display only) we minimize
the risk of regressions because the changes required to implement this
are minimally invasive.

This is mostly lifted from earlier series by Dan Zwell, but updated to

A new configuration color.interactive variable is like color.diff and
color.status, and controls if "git-add -i" uses color.
A set of configuration variables, color.interactive.<slot>, are used to
define what color is used for the prompt, header, and help text.
For perl scripts, Git.pm provides $repo->get_color() method, which takes
the slot name and the default color, and returns the terminal escape
sequence to color the output text. $repo->get_colorbool() method can be
used to check if color is set to be used for a given operation.

The user interface provided by the command loop in git-add--interactive
gives the impression that subcommands can only be launched by entering
an integer identifier from 1 through 8.
A "hidden" feature is that any string can be entered, and a regex search
anchored at the beginning of the string is used to find the uniquely
matching option.
This patch makes this feature a little more obvious by highlighting the
first character of each subcommand (for example "patch" is displayed as
"[p]atch").
A new function is added to detect the shortest unique prefix and this
is used to decide what to highlight. Highlighting is also applied when
choosing files.
In the case where the common prefix may be unreasonably large
highlighting is omitted; in this patch the soft limit (above which the
highlighting will be omitted for a particular item) is 0 (in other words,
there is no soft limit) and the hard limit (above which highlighting will
be omitted for all items) is 3, but this can be tweaked.
The actual highlighting is done by the highlight_prefix function, which
will enable us to implement ANSI color code-based highlighting (most
likely using underline or boldface) in the future.

A script to be driven when the user says "git add --interactive"
is introduced.
When it is run, first it runs its internal 'status' command to
show the current status, and then goes into its internactive
command loop.
The command loop shows the list of subcommands available, and
gives a prompt "What now> ". In general, when the prompt ends
with a single '>', you can pick only one of the choices given
and type return, like this:
*** Commands ***
1: status 2: update 3: revert 4: add untracked
5: patch 6: diff 7: quit 8: help
What now> 1
You also could say "s" or "sta" or "status" above as long as the
choice is unique.
The main command loop has 6 subcommands (plus help and quit).
* 'status' shows the change between HEAD and index (i.e. what
will be committed if you say "git commit"), and between index
and working tree files (i.e. what you could stage further
before "git commit" using "git-add") for each path. A sample
output looks like this:
staged unstaged path
1: binary nothing foo.png
2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl
It shows that foo.png has differences from HEAD (but that is
binary so line count cannot be shown) and there is no
difference between indexed copy and the working tree
version (if the working tree version were also different,
'binary' would have been shown in place of 'nothing'). The
other file, git-add--interactive.perl, has 403 lines added
and 35 lines deleted if you commit what is in the index, but
working tree file has further modifications (one addition and
one deletion).
* 'update' shows the status information and gives prompt
"Update>>". When the prompt ends with double '>>', you can
make more than one selection, concatenated with whitespace or
comma. Also you can say ranges. E.g. "2-5 7,9" to choose
2,3,4,5,7,9 from the list. You can say '*' to choose
everything.
What you chose are then highlighted with '*', like this:
staged unstaged path
1: binary nothing foo.png
* 2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl
To remove selection, prefix the input with - like this:
Update>> -2
After making the selection, answer with an empty line to
stage the contents of working tree files for selected paths
in the index.
* 'revert' has a very similar UI to 'update', and the staged
information for selected paths are reverted to that of the
HEAD version. Reverting new paths makes them untracked.
* 'add untracked' has a very similar UI to 'update' and
'revert', and lets you add untracked paths to the index.
* 'patch' lets you choose one path out of 'status' like
selection. After choosing the path, it presents diff between
the index and the working tree file and asks you if you want
to stage the change of each hunk. You can say:
y - add the change from that hunk to index
n - do not add the change from that hunk to index
a - add the change from that hunk and all the rest to index
d - do not the change from that hunk nor any of the rest to index
j - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next

After deciding the fate for all hunks, if there is any hunk
that was chosen, the index is updated with the selected hunks.
* 'diff' lets you review what will be committed (i.e. between
HEAD and index).
This is still rough, but does everything except a few things I
think are needed.
* 'patch' should be able to allow splitting a hunk into
multiple hunks.
* 'patch' does not adjust the line offsets @@ -k,l +m,n @@
in the hunk header. This does not have major problem in
practice, but it _should_ do the adjustment.
* It does not have any explicit support for a merge in
progress; it may not work at all.
