I'm probbaly going to publish this in `pu` tonight but I have some
comments that I think need to be addressed before this graduates
any further.
First off, no Signed-off-by? This is big enough that I refuse to
put it in the main tree without one. Second it would really have
helped if the email was formatted with `git format-patch`. Copying
the message headers and body over for the commit message was less
than fun. I have better things to do with my time.

You probably should talk about `git add --interactive` as that
is what the git-add documentation calls it. Many end-users don't
even know that `git add -i` is exec()'ing into another program to
accomplish its task. I fixed this up when I applied the patch.

This is a problem in my opinion. Why can't it match the same
names that the C code recognizes? What if we one day were to
see git-add--interactive.perl converted to C? How would we then
reconcile the color handling at that point in time?
