Stashes and expiring reflogs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

When I read this:

       "The latest stash you created is stored in refs/stash; older
       stashes are found in the reflog [...]"

... in the man page for git-stash, I started to feel a bit concerned,
because this seems to imply that old stashes could be pruned.  But I
couldn't find any discussion on this issue in the documentation.  I
eventually found this thread:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/84665

... which was enlightening, but didn't really give me a clue as to
what the intended behavior is for the current version (1.7.0.4).
Nanako presented a possible solution here:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/85055

... but it does not seem to have been merged into the current version.

Even if that isn't adopted, it would be good for the documentation to
be clear about whether old stashes can be silently pruned.  I would
offer to write the documentation patch myself, but I would need
direction from someone, and it would probably take them less time to
just write it themselves.  (:
