Without that line the added test hangs for me on the Git for Windows
SDK on Windows 11.

With the patch below it fails and reports basically nothing:

   expecting success of 3701.57 'handle very large filtered diff':
           git reset --hard &&
           # The specific number here is not important, but it must
           # be large enough that the output of "git diff --color"
           # fills up the pipe buffer. 10,000 results in ~200k of
           # colored output.
           test_seq 10000 >test &&
           test_config interactive.diffFilter cat &&
           printf y >y &&
           force_color git add -p >output 2>&1 <y &&
           git diff-files --exit-code -- test

   HEAD is now at 095e8c6 main
   not ok 57 - handle very large filtered diff

   1..57

The file "output" contains "error: failed to run 'cat'".  This is
add-patch.c::parse_diff() reporting that pipe_command() failed.  So
that's not it, yet.  (I don't actually know what I'm doing here.)
