Good. I would think that git-add--helper is a better name. It is an
internal command only, anyway, and hopefully it will go away soon (i.e.
hopefully all of add -i will be builtin soon and can then be even moved
into a separate file outside builtin/, say, add-interactive.c).

Personally, I would prefer a separate commit adding the helper, before it
learns about any functionality. Somehow I have an easier time reviewing
patches if they tease such things apart.

This definition is local to this helper, and we already know that this is
all about add -i. So maybe not repeat it? HEADER_INDENT would be catchier
and just as expressive.

Likewise, maybe we do not want to have this COLLECTION_MODE_ prefix
littering the source code... NONE, WORKTREE and INDEX should be short and
sweet.

Just struct file_status, maybe?
From a cursory glance, it also would appear that the only need for this
struct to be named is the memset() call when initializing a new item,
right? If that is the case, it would be better to use sizeof(*s->files)
and keep it unnamed, as part of the enclosing struct.

That is a bit wasteful. `char *name` is what diffstat_t uses...

I am scared of future patches where you cannot wrap the code to the
required <= 80 columns/row because the data type or variable name is too
long... ;-)

The convention for growable arrays in Git is to have nr, alloc and the
array, and use ALLOC_GROW() to avoid reallocating for every single new
item.

Again, if we were talking about a declaration in a .h file, that prefix
would make sense, but here we are safely in file-local territory where I
think this is just unnecessary churn.

I did have that fear, and now it comes true... ;-)
Seriously again, this is a file-local function. We know it is about
add --interactive, and we can be pretty succinct about its role, i.e.
something like collect_changes_callback() would be plenty sufficient.

I guess it makes sense to play it safe here (by zeroing the entire struct
rather than assigning the individual initial values).
But would
struct diffstat_t stat = { 0 };
not have done the same?

So basically, this is looking up in a list whether we saw the file in
question already, and the reason we have to do that is that we run the
entire shebang twice, once with the worktree and once with the index.
I wonder whether it would not make sense to switch away s->files from a
list to a hashmap.

We already have ALLOC_GROW() to do this, safer. And easier to verify ;-)

Apart from using PATH_MAX bytes for most likely only short names: should
this not be inside the if (file_index == s->file_count) clause? I mean, if
we do not hit that conditional code, it is because we already compared the
file name and figured out that s->files[file_index].path is identical to
stat.files[i]->name...

I would use the name status_worktree() here instead.

Now that I read this and remember that only WORKTREE and INDEX are handled
in the callback function: is there actually a use for the NONE enum value?
I.e. is current_mode read out in any other context than the callback
function? If there is no other read, then the NONE enum value is just
confusing.
BTW in the first pass, we pretty much know that we only get unique names,
so the entire lookup is unnecessary and will just increase the time
complexity from O(n) to O(n^2). So let's avoid that.
By moving to a hashmap, you can even get the second phase down to an
expected O(n).

Where does this come from? We are not logging commits... oh wait, I see
that diff-lib.c reuses that field for its diff_unmerged_stage value. Urgh.
Not your fault, of course.

Oh, I see, you want to use the opt argument to pass HEAD or the emtpy tree
SHA-1 if we're on an unborn branch.
Since you're already calling get_sha1() on "HEAD", you may just as well
keep the SHA-1 (and use the EMPTY_TREE_SHA1 if there is no HEAD), and then
pass that in via the argc, argv parameters to setup_revisions() (imitating
cmd_diff_index() a bit closer).

Why not collapse all three functions into one? It is not like they are
totally unrelated nor super-long.

We cannot really translate that...

I think these _() need to become N_().

Wouldn't it be better to avoid defining modified_fmt (we do not really
modify it, do we?) and at least make the '\n' part of the format string?

I would prefer the variable to be called "marker".

Those "50" look a bit arbitrary... maybe use strbufs instead (so that we
do not have to hope that all translations of "nothing" or "unchanged",
even Welsh ones, will fit inside those buffers)?

In Git's source code, the convention is to just drop the `!= 0` in
comparisons, unless there is a really good reason not to.

It would be nicer to make this a single printf() call. The only idea I
have to allow for that is to turn modified_fmt into a `#define
MODIFIED_FMT "%12s %12s %s"`, though.

As long as this function really only calls another function with no
parameters, let's just drop it. We can call print_modified() instead of
status_cmd() just as easily.
Ævar already commented on the parseopt stuff.
Otherwise this looks pretty good to me!
