Jari,
It's good that you're working to make the documentation better. To
me though, it seems more difficult to parse this description than the
one offered by Junio in an earlier thread:
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.
If you don't want to just use that description verbatim, perhaps you'd
consider something closer to yours, such as:
Interactively review the differences between the index and the
work tree and choose which hunks to add into the index.
This effectively runs ``add --interactive``, but bypasses the
initial command menu and jumps directly to the `patch` subcommand.
See ``Interactive mode'' for details.
Cheers,
Sean
