In builtin/apply.c and perhaps elsewhere there is already some C code that is duplicated in git-add--interactive.perl. Maybe you can first make add--interactive use the C code by creating a helper command and then move more and more stuff from add--interactive to the helper command. Hopefully in the end the code in the helper could be used to add an interactive mode to git apply. Thanks, Christian.
