But that doesn't answer the basic question as to why it's ok to trash data that the user explicitly asked git to save? The fact that stash is implemented in terms of reflogs seems irrelevant to me. If stash were implemented via branches and cherry picking would it still be natural to automatically expire them? At the very least the man page might want to mention the temporary nature of stashes. Better yet when 'git stash' could print that out when creating the stash, eh? - Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
