Imagine you have a simple stash like:
git init
echo base >file && git add file && git commit -m file
echo new >file
git stash
Before this series:
$ git stash list -p
stash@{0}: WIP on master: 7a1fd22 file
Er, what? It didn't give me a patch. Oh, that's because stashes are
merge commits, and we need to tell it how to handle merges.
$ git stash list -p --cc
stash@{0}: WIP on master: 7a1fd22 file
diff --cc file
index df967b9,df967b9..3e75765
--- a/file
+++ b/file
@@@ -1,1 -1,1 +1,1 @@@
--base
++new
Better, though the combined diff is useless, since I didn't touch the
index at all. Here it is after this series:
$ git stash list -p
stash@{0}: WIP on master: 7a1fd22 file
diff --cc file
index df967b9..3e75765
--- a/file
+++ b/file
@@ -1,1 +1,1 @@
-base
+new
Ah, a nice readable diff with no hassle.
[1/2]: add --simplify-combined-diff option
[2/2]: stash: default listing to "--cc --simplify-combined-diff"
