Correct, add -p for a new file is not supported, as it doesn't really
make sense. There's no patch, it's a whole new file.

What you can do instead is first 

git add -N ../lib/Devel/DebugHooks/Commands.pm

to mark the file as tracked without adding content. Then git add -p
will allow you to add the contents partially.--
