I used "git stash -- path" for the first time today and happened to notice an oddity. If I run: git init -q repo cd repo for i in one two; do echo content >$i git add $i done git commit -qm base for i in one two; do echo change >$i done git stash -- one it says: Saved working directory and index state WIP on master: 20cfadf base Unstaged changes after reset: M one M two Even though "one" no longer has unstaged changes. If I run with GIT_TRACE=1, that message is generated by: git reset -- one which makes sense. At that stage we've just reset the index, but the working tree file still has modifications. In the non-pathspec case we run "git reset --hard", which takes care of the index and the working tree. It's really "checkout-index" that cleans the working tree, but it doesn't have porcelain finery like an "Unstaged changes" message. I think the patch below would fix it, but I wonder if we can do it in a way that doesn't involve calling diff-files twice. -Peff --- diff --git a/git-stash.sh b/git-stash.sh index 9c70662cc..9a4bb503a 100755 --- a/git-stash.sh +++ b/git-stash.sh @@ -299,10 +299,15 @@ push_stash () { then if test $# != 0 then - git reset ${GIT_QUIET:+-q} -- "$@" + git reset -q -- "$@" git ls-files -z --modified -- "$@" | git checkout-index -z --force --stdin git clean --force ${GIT_QUIET:+-q} -d -- "$@" + if test -z "$GIT_QUIET" && ! git diff-files --quiet + then + say "$(gettext "Unstaged changes after reset:")" + git diff-files --name-status + fi else git reset --hard ${GIT_QUIET:+-q} fi
