As I explained earlier, git_read_line_interactively() is usable only when we know that the standard input is *not* used for the data we are operating on and is available to be used for simulating interactive input. Since "git am -i" never reads the mailbox from the standard input, the use of the helper here is acceptable. > diff --git a/builtin/bisect--helper.c b/builtin/bisect--helper.c > index 1fdb7d9d10..134347eb39 100644 > --- a/builtin/bisect--helper.c > +++ b/builtin/bisect--helper.c > @@ -340,7 +340,7 @@ static int decide_next(const struct bisect_terms *terms, > > if (missing_good && !missing_bad && > !strcmp(current_term, terms->term_good)) { > - char *yesno; > + struct strbuf yesno = STRBUF_INIT; > /* > * have bad (or new) but not good (or old).

", question); git_read_line_interactively(&answer); return !(answer.buf[0] == 'N' || answer.buf[0] == 'n'); } so that the above caller can become return ask_yesno(_("Are you sure")) ? 0 : -1; and ... > - yesno = git_prompt(_("Do you want me to do it for you " > - "[Y/n]?
