I'm struggling to work out what's appropriate here. I'd be entirely happy splitting off the `git archimport` command to a separate package if there were something to gain there, but I'm very wary of splitting `git add -p` and friends off: I think that's liable to cause considerable confusion for people who use those commands and who would probably not expect to need a separate package for them. I'm experimenting with what this would look like now, but if you can find and point me at some other platform's Git distribution that also separates out `git-add--interactive`, so I can see how they've handled this situation, that would potentially be very useful.

The feature I use most often isn't a core feature of git-add? If you do split it off, which I would be strongly against, might I suggest "git-add-interactive"? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Good points. We might need to just leave it alone for the time being: 1. One person has already spoken up in this thread against it: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-07/msg00287.html 2. Debian Git still requires it: http://packages.debian.org/experimental/git 3. git-add--interactive.perl is still being worked on, 14 commits this year: http://github.com/git/git/commits/master/git-add--interactive.perl So until they rewrite it in C, we might need to just keep things the way they are. I dont use it with my workflow, so its a shame to pull in Perl for a single file that I do not use, but I get the arguments against. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Perl is a requirement for development work using autoconf and friends anyway so is it that much of a struggle to require it for git? -- cyg Simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

After several false starts (including Windows getting very upset about *something* to do with moving DLLs around and blue screening on me), I'm not seeing this behaviour with the 20170606 snapshot. > Also, can you reproduce this with 2.8.1 under strace perhaps?

I have the strace output from both the successful and unsuccessful cases; the failing case on v2.8.1 appears to be going wrong at the following exception, which appears to be the first significant difference between the two strace outputs: 47 268130 [main] ls 16232 stat_worker: (\??\UNC\, 0x84, 0x180318898), file_attributes 2592 --- Process 16232, exception c005 at 00018012f3cd If you can give me your private email address, I'll send the full strace output over.

Good point too, but note that Cmake does not require Perl. Autotools is the dinosaur of build systems, I would like to see it go away.
