Hi, guys I like this idea. It makes stash easier and quicker to use, and it "hides" the fact that it uses the reflog for keeping track of the made stashes. *Not* to say I discourage interested people from peeking under the hood. I just think it's nice to sometimes think of the stash as a separate concept instead of being built on top of strange merge commits constructed in temporary indexes :) The bash-specific code is a no-go, so here's a way to do it in a way that I think is in line with Git's code style for shell scripts. I took the liberty of removing the '|| exit 1' since the rev is verified later on anyway, as can be seen in the last piece of context. That way the argument munging can be done at a later stage where we don't have to loop over multiple ones. The first rev-parse's purpose is just to apply --sq. (Besides, the only way to do it at the top like in the original patch was for arg in bleh "$@" where bleh is a marker to indicate that the positional arguments should be cleared in a separate case branch so that they can be rebuilt with multiple invocations of set later. Not pretty, in my opinion.)
