[PATCH v4 00/10] built-in add -p: add support for the same config settings as the Perl version

In-Reply-To
<pull.175.v3.git.1578904171.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

This is the final leg of the journey to a fully built-in git add: the git add -i and git add -p modes were re-implemented in C, but they lacked support for a couple of config settings.

The one that sticks out most is the interactive.singleKey setting: it was particularly hard to get to work, especially on Windows.

It also seems to be the setting that is incomplete already in the Perl version of the interactive add command: while the name of the config setting suggests that it applies to all of the interactive add, including the main loop of git add --interactive and to the file selections in that command, it does not. Only the git add --patch mode respects that setting.

As it is outside the purpose of the conversion of git-add--interactive.perl to C, we will leave that loose end for some future date.

Changes since v3:
 * Reverted that heavy-handed SIGPIPE handling.
 * Instead, changed the diffFilter test case to process the standard input
   instead of ignoring it.

(The range diff between v2 and v4 actually only shows the new patch 1/10 "t3701: adjust difffilter test".)

Changes since v2:
 * Fixed the SIGPIPE issue pointed out by Gábor Szeder.
Changes since v1:
 * Fixed the commit message where a copy/paste fail made it talk about
   another GIT_TEST_* variable than the GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN one.
Johannes Schindelin (10):
  t3701: adjust difffilter test
  built-in add -p: support interactive.diffFilter
  built-in add -p: handle diff.algorithm
  terminal: make the code of disable_echo() reusable
  terminal: accommodate Git for Windows' default terminal
  terminal: add a new function to read a single keystroke
  built-in add -p: respect the `interactive.singlekey` config setting
  built-in add -p: handle Escape sequences in interactive.singlekey mode
  built-in add -p: handle Escape sequences more efficiently
  ci: include the built-in `git add -i` in the `linux-gcc` job
