I think the best solution would be to allow users to re-display the
current hunk with more context inside "add -p" rather than changing "add
-i". That way a user who needs more context to make a decision on the
current hunk can get it without restarting the whole process of
selecting hunks [1]. If the user knows up front that they want a certain
amount of context they can use "git add -p -U <context>" or "git add -i
-U <context>" which was added in the preceding patch.
Best Wishes
Phillip
[1] With "git add -p" they can quit and carry on from where they left
off but "git stash -p" doesn't let you amend an existing stash and git
refuses to pop a stash if the working tree is dirty. This means if a
stash is split in two because the user exited to change the context they
cannot pop both stashes on top of each other.
