To recap, your suggestion, if read correct: --patch: -p:: 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. Run ``add --interactive``, but bypass the initial command menu and directly jump to `patch` subcommand. See ``Interactive mode'' for details. For more direct first line, howabout: --patch: -p:: In a modified work tree, choose interactively which patch hunks to add. This gives a change to review the difference between the index and the work before adding modified contents to the index. This effectively runs ``add --interactive``, but bypass the initial command menu and directly jump to `patch` subcommand. See ``Interactive mode'' for details.
