It is not justified with your commit log message, I do not see why you have to shout in all CAPS, and there is no such section in the documentation. But the "Interactive mode" section exists and is referred to by the original. > -p:: > --patch:: > - Similar to Interactive mode but the initial command loop is > - bypassed and the 'patch' subcommand is invoked using each of > - the specified filepatterns before exiting. > + Run interactive patch command for each file on command line. > + See section INTERACTIVE MODE and patch subcommand for more > + information. I personally think fixing misworded phrase "initial command loop" would be sufficient. It should read "initial command menu". Perhaps like this. Run ``add --interactive``, but bypass the initial command menu and directly jump to `patch` subcommand. See ``Interactive mode'' for details. If you assume that the reader is not familiar with "add -i", then the above is not descriptive enough, but "Run interactive patch command" is not an improvement either. We would need a description of "what it is used for" before "how it would look to you" (i.e.. my rewrite shown above). "What it is used for" would perhaps read like this. Review the difference between the index and the work tree, and add modified contents to the index interactively by choosing which patch hunks to use. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
