Dropping it automatically once the conflict > is resolved would be nice. Your intention when you ran "git stash pop", yes. Your intention when you ran "git add", I call that guessing. The condition for dropping the stash should be more "conflits resolutions are done AND the user is happy with it". Otherwise, if you mess up your conflict resolution, and notice it after running "git add", then you're screwed because Git just happily discarded your important data. The point of keeping the stash is to leave it up to the user to decide between "I'm happy, I can drop" or "I'm not, I should re-apply", and Git cannot tell which is which. Hinting the user to run "stash pop" would be more acceptable, but talking about "git stash" in "git add"'s code is somehow a dependency order violation (stash is normally implemented on top of Git's basic features, not the other way around). Does not seem serious from at first from the user point of view, but this pushes the codebase one step in the direction of an unmaintainable mess. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
