After an update to version 2.14.2 from 2.14.1 "git add --patch" stopped working for me, just producing the same output as "git diff", but not prompting to stage anything. I found that unsetting the config key color.ui, which was set to "always" fixed the problem. >From the manpage, color.ui should not have that effect and "always" should be a legal value.
