(That by itself may be a > feature that some people want; so far, I'm not among them.) I would be happy with something that indicated "untracked files in addition to the regular stash". I just think it should be about "add these other files into the stash", not "end up in this directory state". Something like "--untracked-too" fits that, but is horribly ugly. I also think it makes sense to have some way of stashing everything, including excluded files. That could just be "-x" in conjunction with whatever this option is (which matches "git clean"), or it could be a separate option name (like "--all" or "--ignored"). Things like "git stash --all" or "git stash --thorough" indicate that you are stashing more, but it's hard to remember what the "more" is. So I don't have any brilliant suggestions. Doing: $ git stash --untracked-too --ignored-too is fairly clear, but somehow strikes me as unnecessarily ugly and verbose. -Peff -- 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
