Subject: Behaviour of 'git stash show' when a stash has untracked files
Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2017 10:57:49 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1505626069.9625.6.camel@gmail.com> (raw)
Some time ago, I stashed a few changes along with untracked files. I
almost forgot it until recently. Then I wanted to see what I change I
had in the stash. So I did a 'git stash show <num>'. It worked fine but
didn't say anything about the untracked files in that stash. That made
me wonder where the untracked files I added went. I then applied the
stash to see that they were still there but weren't listed in show.
I understand that they aren't listed because 'git stash show' is
typically a "diff between the stashed state and its original parent" as
the documentation says but shouldn't there be at least a message that
the stash contains untracked files? Those untracked files are "part of
the stash" and I see no way to get information about their presence
currently.
So, should this behaviour be changed?
