Thanks to Junio for his comments on V2. I have removed the dependency on WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES in favor of "lets change it and see if anyone screams"
Changes since V2: Remove dependency on WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES and change the behavior unconditionally. This takes us back to V1 with (hopefully) better commit messages and a style fix in the tests.
V2 Cover Letter: Thanks to Justin and Junio for their comments in V1. Sorry for the long delay in re-rolling - I thought I'd sent these ages ago and then discovered that they weren't upstream and realized I had not, in fact, sent them after-all.
Changes since V1:
* Patch 1: The new hunks created by splitting a hunk are now only marked as "undecided" when WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES is enabled.
* Patch 2: Reworded commit message and added a space before a redirection in the test
V1 Cover Letter:
This series fixes a couple of infelicities when splitting hunks that have already been selected or edited which I noticed a while ago when preparing the test for 'pw/add-patch-with-suppress-blank-empty'.

@@ Commit message
the split hunks they will now have to do more work re-selecting the
remaining split hunks. However, changing the selection of any of the
other newly created hunks is now much simpler as the user no-longer has
- to navigate back to them in order to change their selected state. Due
- to concerns that users may be relying on the current behaviour [1]
- this change is guarded by WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES.

-@@ Documentation/BreakingChanges.adoc: A prerequisite for this change is that the ecosystem is ready to support the
- "reftable" format. Most importantly, alternative implementations of Git like
- JGit, libgit2 and Gitoxide need to support it.
-
-+* The behavior of "git add -p" has been changed so that splitting a
-+ hunk that has already been marked as selected or unselected will now
-+ prompt the user to select each of the new hunks created by the
-+ split instead of them inheriting their state from the original hunk.

- === Removals
-
- * Support for grafting commits has long been superseded by git-replace(1).
