OK, I really think this is the most sane behavior. It naturally follows
what the user wants (if they edit, they then want to apply), but it
still waits until the end of the loop, so they can back out if they
want.

Ah, I hadn't thought about that, but of course it makes sense that it
would need to recount (I guess I should have looked a little more
closely at the other code). I think replacing that with --recount would
be great, but it should be a separate patch, and we should wait for
--recount to stabilize (all of this should be post 1.5.6, anyway).

This "however" confused me the first time I read it. I assume you mean
that "if the diff is empty, then staging it will do nothing"? I wonder
if that is even worth mentioning, since it seems obvious.

Although I guess you do special-case "no lines" later on.

This can probably be moved from the "every time" instructions to the
manual, if we want to keep the size of the instructions a bit smaller.

I'm confused here...we are feeding _all_ of the hunks to git-apply. In
my patch, I simply fed the hunk of interest. Since we are recounting,
shouldn't the single hunk be enough? And if it isn't, then shouldn't we
be feeding only the hunks that are to be applied?

Perl nit: you can create an arrayref with brackets:

  $newhunk->{DISPLAY} = [color_diff(@$text)];

Nice. I think this is much cleaner.
