Note that add.interactive.useBuiltin is enabled by feature.experimental. It was added in 2df2d81ddd (add -i: use the built-in version when feature.experimental is set, 2020-09-08). Signed-off-by: Todd Zullinger <tmz@xxxxxxxxx> --- I was checking my configuration to see if I still needed to have add.interactive.useBuiltin set and noticed that it wasn't listed in the settings enabled by feature.experimental. Unless it's time to take this out of the experimental phase, it seems worth documenting -- if for no other reason than to keep fetch.negotiationAlgorithm from being lonely in the feature.experimental section. ;) FWIW, I've had this enabled for perhaps a year or so and I don't recall any instances where it hasn't worked well. It has come in handy on some systems where I can't easily install Perl but don't want to give up `add -[ip]`. Thanks Dscho!
