Hej Phillip, I have been playing around with the whole thing some time. At the end I had a version, which did fiddle the information that we are doing a `git stash` (and not any other operation) into entry.c, and all test cases passed. So in principle I can dig out all changes, polish them and send them out, after doing cleanups of course. (And that could take a couple of days, or weeks ;-) My main question is still open: Is it a good idea, to create a "helper file" ? The naming can be discussed, we may stick the date/time into the filename to make it really unique, or so. Reading the different reports and including own experience, I still think that a directory called ".deleted-by-user" or ".wastebin" or something in that style is a good idea. What do others think ?
