Running `git checkout -p` with a merge-base rev results in an error:
$ git checkout -p HEAD...
usage: git diff-index [-m] [--cached] [<common-diff-options>] <tree-ish> [<path>...]
common diff options:
-z output diff-raw with lines terminated with NUL.
-p output patch format.
-u synonym for -p.
--patch-with-raw
output both a patch and the diff-raw format.
--stat show diffstat instead of patch.
--numstat show numeric diffstat instead of patch.
--patch-with-stat
output a patch and prepend its diffstat.
--name-only show only names of changed files.
--name-status show names and status of changed files.
--full-index show full object name on index lines.
--abbrev=<n> abbreviate object names in diff-tree header and diff-raw.
-R swap input file pairs.
-B detect complete rewrites.
-M detect renames.
-C detect copies.
--find-copies-harder
try unchanged files as candidate for copy detection.
-l<n> limit rename attempts up to <n> paths.
-O<file> reorder diffs according to the <file>.
-S<string> find filepair whose only one side contains the string.
--pickaxe-all
show all files diff when -S is used and hit is found.
-a --text treat all files as text.
Cannot close git diff-index --cached --numstat --summary HEAD... -- () at <redacted>/libexec/git-core/git-add--interactive line 183.
This happens because checkout passes the literal argument (in the
example, `HEAD...`) to diff-index which does not recognise merge-base
revs.
Fix this by using the hex of the found commit instead of the given name.
Note that "HEAD" is handled specially in run_add_interactive() so it's
explicitly not changed.
