Hi,
This morning 'git add --patch' told me "Sorry, cannot split this hunk"
even though that hunk in question was definitely splittable. Then I
spent my lunch break trying to reproduce the issue, and it turned out
to be a regression in the builtin add interactive (I have
'add.interactive.useBuiltin=true' in my config). The following test
demonstrates this issue:
--- >8 ---
#!/bin/sh
test_description='test'
. ./test-lib.sh
test_expect_success 'builtin interactive add cannot split hunk?!' '
printf "%s\n" 1 2 >file &&
echo a >zzzz &&
git add file zzzz &&
git commit -m initial &&
cat >file <<-\EOF &&
1
add a line
2
add a line at the end (this is important!)
EOF
echo "modify one more file (this, too, is important!)" >zzzz &&
git diff file &&
git -c add.interactive.useBuiltin=false add -u -p >expect &&
git -c add.interactive.useBuiltin=true add -u -p >actual &&
# Uh-oh, "s" (for splitting the hunk) is missing!
test_cmp expect actual
'
test_done
--- 8< ---
This fails with:

+ git -c add.interactive.useBuiltin=true add -u -p

not ok 1 - builtin interactive add cannot split hunk?!
So the builtin add interactive doesn't even offer the 's - split the
current hunk into smaller hunks' option, but my finger memory pressed
's' anyway, and then it told me that "Sorry..." message. The scripted
version can split the hunk just fine.
