 -p::
 --patch::
-       Similar to Interactive mode but the initial command loop is
-       bypassed and the 'patch' subcommand is invoked using each of
-       the specified filepatterns before exiting.
+       Interactively choose hunks of patch between the index and the
+       work tree and add them to the index. This gives the user a chance
+       to review the difference before adding modified contents to the
+       index.
++
+This effectively runs `add --interactive`, but bypasses the
+initial command menu and directly jumps to the `patch` subcommand.
+See ``Interactive mode'' for details.
+
+-e, \--edit::
+       Open the diff vs. the index in an editor and let the user
+       edit it.  After the editor was closed, adjust the hunk headers
+       and apply the patch to the index.
++
+*NOTE*: Obviously, if you change anything else than the first character
+on lines beginning with a space or a minus, the patch will no longer
+apply.

-Bugs
-----
-The interactive mode does not work with files whose names contain
-characters that need C-quoting.  `core.quotepath` configuration can be
-used to work this limitation around to some degree, but backslash,
-double-quote and control characters will still have problems.
