Without "Cowardly", the capriciosity of "refusing" does not make much sense. The error message is a tribute to GNU tar: dak@lola:/tmp$ mkdir x dak@lola:/tmp$ tar cfz x tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information. dak@lola:/tmp$ The boring variant would be $ git stash pop Auto-merging foo.txt CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in foo.txt Not dropping stash $ -- David Kastrup -- 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
