We've given the "git add -i" migration away from Perl to a built-in enough time to remove the old Perl code. For v1, see: https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-0.3-00000000000-20230203T125859Z-avarab@xxxxxxxxx/ Branch & CI for this at: https://github.com/avar/git/tree/avar/nuke-perl-add--interactive-2 The only change from v1 is to squash in a suggested change from Philippe Blain, thanks!
