Lightly tested throwaway script:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os
import re
import subprocess
import sys
proc = subprocess.Popen(['/usr/bin/git', 'add', '-p'],
bufsize=1,
stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
text=True)
n = 0
while True:
n += 1
chunk = os.read(proc.stdout.fileno(), 1024*1024).decode('utf-8')
if not chunk:
break
lines = chunk.splitlines()
prompt = lines[-1]
if prompt.find('Stage this hunk') == -1:
print(f"{sys.argv[0]}: no recognizable prompt after chunk #{n}",
file=sys.stderr)
break
#old = '\n'.join(filter(lambda l: re.match(r'^[- ]', l), lines))
#print(old)
deleted = '\n'.join(filter(lambda l: re.match(r'^-#', l), lines))
if re.search(r'[!.?].*[!.?]', deleted, flags=re.DOTALL):
proc.stdin.write('n\n')
else:
proc.stdin.write('y\n')
ch = os.read(proc.stdout.fileno(), 1).decode('utf-8')
try:
proc.wait(1)
except:
print(f"{sys.argv[0]}: git-add appears to hang, sending SIGTERM",
file=sys.stderr)
proc.terminate()
proc.wait()
if proc.returncode != 0:
print(f"{sys.argv[0]}: git-add terminated abnormally
(code={proc.returncode})",
file=sys.stderr)
