Together with the previous step, it makes sense. Earlier we always
spawned the scripted version. Now we first give control to the C
code and allow it to punt to the scripted version unless it is told
to take control with USE_BUILTIN.

OK. I suspect that, as we move more stuff that used to be an
external call with one-shot environment assignments like this to an
internall call, we'd see patterns of "save away the state of this
and that environment variables, then replace them with these values"
paired with "now restore the state of those environment variables".
We might eventually want to add a helper for doing so easily, which
may make the caller look like
extern void save_environment(struct saved_env *, ...);
struct saved_env env;
save_environment(&env,
INDEX_ENVIRONMENT, the_repository->index_file,
NULL /* end of "VAR, val" tuples */);
ret = run_add_interactive(NULL, "--patch=stash", ps);
restore_environment(&env);
It might (or might not) be premature to introduce such a helper at
this stage in the series, though.
Thanks.
