What was the previous version that was working? It is possible to bisect
to find the culprit commit?

There weren't any updates to git-add--interactive.perl (the program that
underlies the `--patch` implementation in both cases) in v2.14.2, and
very few even in v2.14.0. Of course the problem may be in one of the
sub-programs it calls.
