was perusing thomas gummerer's proposed "git stash" patch here: https://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg313993.html and i'd make one more change -- i'd separate the OPTIONS entries for "git stash push" and "git stash save" so they don't end up being rendered all crushed together when displaying the man page: OPTIONS save [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-q|--quiet] [<message>], push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-q|--quiet] [-m|--message <message>] [--] [<pathspec>...] Save your local modifications to a new stash and roll them back to HEAD (in the working tree and in the index). The <message> part is optional and gives the description along with the stashed state. ... snip ... so rather than: OPTIONS ------- push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-q|--quiet] [-m|--message <message>] [--] [<pathspec>...]:: save [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-q|--quiet] [<message>]:: Save your local modifications to a new 'stash entry' and roll them back to HEAD (in the working tree and in the index). The <message> part is optional and gives the description along with the stashed state. ... i'd suggest: push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-q|--quiet] [-m|--message <message>] [--] [<pathspec>...]:: Save your local modifications to a new 'stash entry' and roll them back to HEAD (in the working tree and in the index). The <message> part is optional and gives the description along with the stashed state. ... save [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-q|--quiet] [<message>]:: This option is deprecated in favour of 'git stash push'. or something like that. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
