Good suggestion.
This is a common mistake we saw in submissions by many new
contributors, and a good practice to avoid it is to start from a
command line option without a configuration variable. I.e. make
sure that
$ git status --show-stash
$ git status --show-stash --no-show-stash
work well. After that, add support for status.showStash and make
these also work well:
$ git -c status.showStash=false status --show-stash
$ git -c status.showStash=true status --no-show-stash
These two new ones need to result in command line options overriding
the configured default.
And have these four getting tested in test scripts.
