When using git add --patch somefile.txt in cygwin I get a bizarre response.
After first typing the command it waits for me to hit enter without displaying anything. Once I press enter I get the following output
--- a/somefile.txt
+++ b/somefile.txt

The pattern continues for the rest of the file leaving me unable to tell which hunk I am being prompted on.
