I can reproduce easily here with the script below. It looks like a regression in c9d961647 (i18n: add--interactive: mark edit_hunk_manually message for translation, 2016-12-14), which is in v2.12.0. It taught the script to write out with the comment char, but reading it back does not seem to work. Here's my reproduction script: -- >8 -- rm -rf repo git init repo cd repo git config core.commentchar '$' seq 10 >file git add file git commit -m base perl -pi -e 'print "new\n" if $. == 5' file (echo e; echo n) | GIT_EDITOR=true git.compile add -p # look for "corrupt patch" in the output -- 8< -- I think there's another bug, too, where the "patch did not apply cleanly" prompt goes into an infinite loop if it gets EOF. -Peff
