$ echo foo > bar $ git add -N bar $ ./git --exec-path=$PWD stash save bar: not added yet fatal: git-write-tree: error building trees Cannot save the current index state Maybe it would require some magic in git-stash to detect/save/restore that particular state, or "just" to cause "add -N" to insert an empty file instead ? I suspect that second solution would not be particularly popular, but I don't find the 1st one very appealing, it just looks like breaking the whole idea behind git-stash :) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
