But the original point by Sebastian hasn't been answered. He wanted
to make the command list the stash without arguments.
This was discussed already in the early days of stash and there indeed
was a suggestion to do so (I think I sided with that), but the users
did not want it. IIRC, the argument went like: "when I say 'stash',
that is because I want a quick and immediate way to stash, and I do
not want a list. If I do not have to have a quick way, I would create
a temporary commit on the current branch, or switch to a temporary
branch and commit there."
Well, "git stash save" is just five characters more - I really don't see
why this would be less comfortable (and for the really lazy people there
are still aliases...). On the other hand (if "list" is the default),
we'd get a more consistent interface which imho is imho more important
than typing five characters less.
It's more about what you're used to. I had an alias named 'stash' long
before it became a git command. And now guess how _annoying_ it would be
to type "git stash<Return><Curse out loud at my mouse>git stash
save<Return>".
Not nearly as annoying as losing work because of it, and you obviously
*know* what to do when you're done cursing, while clueless-newbie-X just
hops away and uses subversion.
