None of the above descriptions are relevant to actual items, for example:
$ git stash show stash@{2}
devel/google-perftools/Makefile | 2 +-
devel/google-perftools/distinfo | 6 +++---
devel/google-perftools/files/patch-Makefile.am | 4 ++--
devel/google-perftools/files/patch-src_stacktrace.cc | 11 +++++++++++
devel/google-perftools/pkg-plist | 12 ++++++------
5 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-)
- description mentions cryptol but actual items are related to perftools.
My suggestion:
In case all changes are grouped in one ditectory, like in my case, git
should append this directory name to description:
> stash@{2}: WIP on main: d42e82e4a336 security/hs-cryptol: Update
2.10.0 -> 2.11.0, all changes are in devel/google-perftools
In many cases it is possible to do so.
In case many directories are affected it could say "changes are in
path1/dir1, path2/dir2, etc."
This would be a lot better than stash items descriptions it prints now.
Thank you,
Yuri
