The option parser for git-stash stuffs unknown flags into the $FLAGS variable, where they can be accessed by the individual commands. However, most commands do not even look at these extra flags, leading to unexpected results like this: $ git stash drop --help Dropped refs/stash@{0} (e6cf6d80faf92bb7828f7b60c47fc61c03bd30a1) We should notice the extra flags and bail. Rather than annotate each command to reject a non-empty $FLAGS variable, we can notice that "stash show" is the only command that actually _wants_ arbitrary flags. So we switch the default mode to reject unknown flags, and let stash_show() opt into the feature.

I guess we cannot do better than just having it run "git help stash" in all cases (i.e., we have no way to get the help for a specific subcommand). git-stash.sh | 6 +++++- t/t3903-stash.sh | 4 ++++ 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/git-stash.sh b/git-stash.sh index 7911f30..c6f492c 100755 --- a/git-stash.sh +++ b/git-stash.sh @@ -301,6 +301,7 @@ list_stash () { } show_stash () { + ALLOW_UNKNOWN_FLAGS=t assert_stash_like "$@" git diff ${FLAGS:---stat} $b_commit $w_commit @@ -332,13 +333,14 @@ show_stash () { # # GIT_QUIET is set to t if -q is specified # INDEX_OPTION is set to --index if --index is specified. -# FLAGS is set to the remaining flags +# FLAGS is set to the remaining flags (if allowed) # # dies if: # * too many revisions specified # * no revision is specified and there is no stash stack # * a revision is specified which cannot be resolve to a SHA1 # * a non-existent stash reference is specified +# * unknown flags were set and ALLOW_UNKNOWN_FLAGS is not "t" # parse_flags_and_rev() @@ -372,6 +374,8 @@ parse_flags_and_rev() INDEX_OPTION=--index ;; -*) + test "$ALLOW_UNKNOWN_FLAGS" = t || + die "$(eval_gettext "unknown option: \$opt")" FLAGS="${FLAGS}${FLAGS:+ }$opt" ;; esac diff --git a/t/t3903-stash.sh b/t/t3903-stash.sh index 0746eee..7396ca9 100755 --- a/t/t3903-stash.sh +++ b/t/t3903-stash.sh @@ -100,6 +100,10 @@ test_expect_success 'unstashing in a subdirectory' ' ) ' +test_expect_success 'stash drop complains of extra options' ' + test_must_fail git stash drop --foo +' + test_expect_success 'drop top stash' ' git reset --hard && git stash list > stashlist1 && -- 2.4.1.396.g7ba6d7b -- 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
