- glitches that we tickle in some of our scripts. Work them around
- so that "vimdiff" and our test suite works well enough with it.

- + add-patch: do not show UI messages on stderr
-
- When the user responds to a prompt given by "git add -p" with an
- unsupported command, list of available commands were given, which
- was too much if the user knew what they wanted to type but merely
- made a typo.  Now the user gets a much shorter error message.
