I was going to review this, but can't find what it's based on, I can't apply 1/4 to master, next or pu. It seems to be based on some older version of master, e.g. 1/4 has this hunk: + elsif ($line =~ /^l/) { + unless ($other =~ /l/) { + error_msg __("Cannot select line by line\n"); + next; + } + my $newhunk = select_lines_loop($hunk[$ix]); + if ($newhunk) { + splice @hunk, $ix, 1, $newhunk; + } else { + next; + } + } elsif ($other =~ /s/ && $line =~ /^s/) { Which seems to conflict with your 4bdd6e7ce3 ("add -p: improve error messages", 2018-02-13). I could have tried to manually apply this, but figured I'd bounce this back to you... Having just skimmed through the patches themselves I agree with this approach of handling the simple case (as discussed before) and leaving the rest for some future change, but let's see about the details once I have this running.
