Done, thanks for the reminder. > 2.

I'm struggling to work out what's appropriate here. I'd be entirely happy splitting off the `git archimport` command to a separate package if there were something to gain there, but I'm very wary of splitting `git add -p` and friends off: I think that's liable to cause considerable confusion for people who use those commands and who would probably not expect to need a separate package for them. I'm experimenting with what this would look like now, but if you can find and point me at some other platform's Git distribution that also separates out `git-add--interactive`, so I can see how they've handled this situation, that would potentially be very useful.
