Appending "--diff-algorithm=histogram" at the end of canned command
line for various modes of "diff" is correct for most of them but not
for "stash" that has a non-option already wired in, like so:

	'stash' =&gt; {
		DIFF =&gt; 'diff-index -p HEAD',

Appending an extra option after non-option may happen to work due to
overly lax command line parser, but that is not something we should
rely on.  Instead, splice in the extra argument immediately after the
command name (i.e. 'diff-index', 'diff-files', etc.).

<title>add--interactive: respect diff.algorithm</title>

When staging hunks interactively it is sometimes useful to use an
alternative diff algorithm which splits the changes into hunks in a more
logical manner.  This is not possible because the plumbing commands
called by add--interactive ignore the "diff.algorithm" configuration
option (as they should).

Since add--interactive is a porcelain command it should respect this
configuration variable.  To do this, make it read diff.algorithm and
pass its value to the underlying diff-index and diff-files invocations.

At this point, do not add options to "git add", "git reset" or "git
checkout" (all of which can call git-add--interactive).  If a user
wants to override the value on the command line they can use:

	git -c diff.algorithm=$ALGO ...

<title>add--interactive: ignore unmerged entries in patch mode</title>

When "add -p" sees an unmerged entry, it shows the combined
diff and then immediately skips the hunk. This can be
confusing in a variety of ways, depending on whether there
are other changes to stage (in which case you get the
superfluous combined diff output in between other hunks) or
not (in which case you get the combined diff and the program
exits immediately, rather than seeing "No changes").

The current behavior was not planned, and is just what the
implementation happens to do. Instead, let's explicitly
remove unmerged entries from our list of modified files, and
print a warning that we are ignoring them.

We can cheaply find which entries are unmerged by adding
"--raw" output to the "diff-files --numstat" we already run.
There is one non-obvious thing we must change when parsing
this combined output. Before this patch, when we saw a
numstat line for a file that did not have index changes, we
would create a new record with 'unchanged' in the 'INDEX'
field.  Because "--raw" comes before "--numstat", we must
move this special-case down to the raw-line case (and it is
sufficient to move it rather than handle it in both places,
since any file which has a --numstat will also have a --raw
entry).

<title>add -i: ignore terminal escape sequences</title>

On the author's terminal, the up-arrow input sequence is ^[[A, and
thus fat-fingering an up-arrow into 'git checkout -p' is quite
dangerous: git-add--interactive.perl will ignore the ^[ and [
characters and happily treat A as "discard everything".

As a band-aid fix, use Term::Cap to get all terminal capabilities.
Then use the heuristic that any capability value that starts with ^[
(i.e., \e in perl) must be a key input sequence.  Finally, given an
input that starts with ^[, read more characters until we have read a
full escape sequence, then return that to the caller.  We use a
timeout of 0.5 seconds on the subsequent reads to avoid getting stuck
if the user actually input a lone ^[.

Since none of the currently recognized keys start with ^[, the net
result is that the sequence as a whole will be ignored and the help
displayed.

<title>"add -p": work-around an old laziness that does not coalesce hunks</title>

Since 0beee4c (git-add--interactive: remove hunk coalescing, 2008-07-02),
"git add--interactive" behaves lazily and passes overlapping hunks to the
underlying "git apply" without coalescing.  This was partially corrected
by 7a26e65 (its partial revert, 2009-05-16), but overlapping hunks are
still passed when the patch is edited.

Teach "git apply" the --allow-overlap option that disables a safety
feature that avoids misapplication of patches by not applying patches
to overlapping hunks, and pass this option form "add -p" codepath.

Do not even advertise the option, as this is merely a workaround, and the
correct fix is to make "add -p" correctly coalesce adjacent patch hunks.

Depending on the direction and the target of patch application, we would
need to pass --cached and --reverse to underlying "git apply".  Also we
only pass --check when we are not applying but just checking.

But we always pass --recount since 8cbd431 (git-add--interactive: replace
hunk recounting with apply --recount, 2008-07-02).  Instead of repeating
the same --recount over and over again, move it to a single place that
actually runs the command, namely, "run_git_apply" subroutine.

The "quit" command was added in 9a7a1e0 (git add -p: new "quit" command at
the prompt, 2009-04-10) to allow the user to say that hunks other than
what have already been chosen are undesirable, and exit the interactive
loop immediately.  It forgot that there may be an undecided hunk before
the current one.  In such a case, the interactive loop still goes back to
the beginning.

Clear all the USE bit for undecided hunks and exit the loop.
