Here's a possible solution, or better said a new configuration option,
which I've been thinking about for a while... When running "add -p",
displayed chunks can sometimes become confusing or a bit hard on the
eyes, but simply clearing the screen _before_ displaying any new step
(i.e. a new chunk, interactive help, etc.) could make it much easier
on the eyes. It would be a new option, of course.
Or your 'p' option can have a 'P' variant that clears before prints.
I have this feeling that even those who want clearing of the screen,
they do not want it always on, when many of their hunks are 7 lines
long.
That would be even better. Though, would adding new short command-line
option to git-add be frowned upon?
