Hi, So, having long wanted this functionality too, I was a little sad to see that this patch for it is still mostly languishing after all this time -- but for the benefit of anyone else who stumbles across this bug looking for it too (and myself, next time I'm trying to remember exactly how to do it ;), there is a 'workaround' you can use:
$ git -c diff.algorithm=patience add -p ... Which should work for git 1.8.2 or later. And possibly means this bug could be closed, unless there is something else in the patches here which can't be done with the above configuration. Cheers, Ron
