I think I remember when we talked about this, it was in the context of `git add -p` becoming a built-in, and we all agreed that it is actually a very nice side effect that you can feed commands to `git add -p` in scripts via stdin, not only for testing. It might have been in the context of another command, but even then it is a fact that this is a very nice side effect. Ciao, Dscho
