Hello,
I am using `git stash create` from a python script and occasionally it
fails with return code 1 without seemingly any reason (i.e. without
printing anything to stderr).
After discussing this in the git irc channel, I have added strace to
the call (GIT_TRACE=2 env var didn't provide any info except: "trace:
built-in: git stash create" and then fail).
I also wrapped the call in for loop to retry if it fails ;( and today,
on a clean work-tree, it failed once and then immediately succeeded on
next loop iteration a few tens of ms later. Here are strace parts that
went differently in each try:
(I reproduced this on git 2.30 and 2.31 on two different systems, i
don't use any GUI or IDE, just the script that calls git stash
create).
