I'm not sure I understand the logic for this. If I run 'git add -N <path>' and <path> does not exist in the worktree what's the reason to stop a patch that creates <path> from applying?

I was relieved to see from the next patch that this does not affect --cached even though the documentation says it implies --index. It might be worth mentioning that in the commit message. Also it would be easier to follow if the tests were in the same patch (this is what we usually do).

How this does it affect --check? `git add -p` uses --check to verify that hunks that the user has edited still apply. It does not let the user edit the hunk for a newly added file at the moment but that is something I'm thinking of adding.

Best Wishes
Phillip
