[PATCH 2/3] Add / command in add --patch

This command allows the user to skip hunks that don't match the specified regex.

BUG:  if the user enters an invalid regex, perl will abort.
For example: /+\s*foo will abort with:
Quantifier follows nothing in regex
I am not a Perl hacker and would welcome suggestions
on the easiest way to deal with this.
