add -p: warn if only binary changes present

trast · gitster · commit 9fe7a643fcc5 · 2008-10-26T16:20:24.000-07:00
Current 'git add -p' will say "No changes." if there are no changes to
text files, which can be confusing if there _are_ changes to binary
files.  Add some code to distinguish the two cases, and give a
different message in the latter one.
