Hi git contributors!
I'm Kunal Tyagi. While I was choosing the relevant patches for a commit
using the git add -p command, I found that there was no feedback regarding
how many hunks from the current file had been processed and how many were
left. So I decided to add a small change to the prompt which basically just
displays (${current-hunk-id} + 1/${total-hunks}) before displaying the
prompt during user interaction. This patch doesn't account for all total
hunks, only per file.
I don't know perl so even this one liner might have mistakes. I did test
this locally and hope this works for others. Personally, this change feels
helpful to me when I have to separate a long list of changes after an
erroneous commit.
On the #git-devel freenode channel, I was informed that @dscho is rewriting
git-add in C. If so, perhaps a similar change could be added in the rewrite.
I haven't seen his patches in detail so I can't comment if it'll be as
trivial as in perl.
Regards Kunal Tyagi
