Yes, but I do not think "add -i" unwraps the path quoting.  I think it
should, but I do not think I bothered to.  Because it is trivial to do by
any aspiring git hacker wannabes, I left it as an exercise to readers when
I did the "interactive" as a quick-and-dirty hack (aka "demonstration").

Somehow nobody found an itch to improve it until now, but it seems that we
found a volunteer with the itch ;-)
