I've added some documentation to git-add.txt for the new selection mode and cleaned up some style issues, otherwise these are unchanged since v1. These patches build on top of the recount fixes in [1]. The commit message for the first patch describes the motivation:

"When I end up editing hunks it is almost always because I want to stage a subset of the lines in the hunk. Doing this by editing the hunk is inconvenient and error prone (especially so if the patch is going to be reversed before being applied). Instead offer an option for add -p to stage individual lines. When the user presses 'l' the hunk is redrawn with labels by the insertions and deletions and they are prompted to enter a list of the lines they wish to stage. Ranges of lines may be specified using 'a-b' where either 'a' or 'b' may be omitted to mean all lines from 'a' to the end of the hunk or all lines from 1 upto and including 'b'."

+If you press "l" then the hunk will be reprinted with each insertion
+or deletion labelled with a number and you will be prompted to enter
+which lines you wish to select. Individual line numbers should be
+separated by a space or comma (these can be omitted if there are fewer
+than ten labelled lines), to specify a range of lines use a dash
+between them. To invert the selection prefix it with "\^" so "^3-5,8"
+will select everything except lines 3, 4, 5 and 8.
++
 After deciding the fate for all hunks, if there is any hunk
 that was chosen, the index is updated with the selected hunks.
