Which topic is this? I can't find one where it works (it's always "Sorry, cannot edit this hunk" on seen 2.28.0.508.g7d1bebc7fe).

Yeah, it's split that would be a problem, edit just stages and moves on.
Split would be nice, but I don't actually recall it ever working before
- it doesn't work now on diffs from actual blank files. Getting edit
back (if there's a topic that does this already) makes it work for my
usage.
