Hi,

When setting "color.ui = always" in the last few versions (not sure exactly when this started, but definitely exists in 2.14.1 and 2.14.2), git add -p stops working as expected. Instead of prompting the user, it skips through the prompts and doesn't allow selecting a hunk.

Don't know why I had color.ui = always set in my .gitconfig.
git version 2.14.2.666.gea220ee40
Thanks,
