This patch series started out as a tiny fix for a bug reported by Philippe
Blain in 
https://lore.kernel.org/git/313B8999-1E99-4695-A20D-E48840C30879@gmail.com/.
And then I only wanted to add a regression test to make sure that this does
not regress. And then I just wanted to ensure that it passes both with the
Perl version of git add -i as well as with the built-in version.

And in no time I was looking at a real patch series.

Changes since v2:

 * The commit messages of patches 7/11 and 9/11 now stress why we want to
   align the output of the Perl vs the built-in version so slavishly: to be
   able to validate both versions against prerecorded output.
 * A typo was fixed in the commit message of patch 10/11.

Changes since v1:

 * The regression test now actually exercises the re-coloring (that is the
   primary purpose of git add -p looking at the color.diff.* variables).
 * The way the built-in git add -p renders hunk headers of split hunks was
   aligned with how the Perl version does things.
 * We now consistently prefer color.diff.context over color.diff.plain, no
   matter whether using the Perl or the built-in version of git add -p.
 * The commit message for the regression test no longer confuses readers by
   mentioning dash.
 * The regression test was structured a bit better, first testing error
   message coloring, then the menu in git add -i and then the diff coloring
   in git add -p.

Johannes Schindelin (11):
  add -i (built-in): do show an error message for incorrect inputs
  add -i (built-in): send error messages to stderr
  add -p (built-in): imitate `xdl_format_hunk_hdr()` generating hunk
    headers
  add -i: use `reset_color` consistently
  add -i (built-in): prevent the `reset` "color" from being configured
  add -i (built-in): use correct names to load color.diff.* config
  add -p (built-in): do not color the progress indicator separately
  add -i (built-in): use the same indentation as the Perl version
  add -i (Perl version): color header to match the C version
  add -p: prefer color.diff.context over color.diff.plain
  add -i: verify in the tests that colors can be overridden

This version looks fine to me, and I agree is a good stopping point for
now (the only thing I'd consider adding is a test for the funcname in a
split-hunk header, but it would have to be expect_failure for now; it is
probably not worth the effort to rewrite the perl version to behave like
the builtin here if we think it's going away soon).

Actually, I couldn't resist (but again, I don't think this has to be

Will mark the topic to be merged to 'next'.

It seems that these days I am too quick and eager to take more
things in 'seen' than the rate at I can convince myself that the
topics are ready and accumulate too many topics in the "undecided"
category too fast.  I probably should slow down the intake a bit to
match.

Thanks.
