Hi,

when using git add -i, selecting the patch functionality, git shows the
  Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,/,K,j,J,g,s,e,?]?
question for each hunk.

Apparently the '?' entry meant to show help is not very useful when the hunk is
long since the help is scrolled away as the hunk is reprinted.

Probably it would be better not to reprint the hunk when '?' is selected.

Sergio

Seconded! I was trying to explain git add -i to someone and typed '?'
three times in a row wondering why it wasn't working.
