git-stash cannot find the repository when the path is a symbolic link. solution for me was to cd to the absolute path and then do git-stash. FAILURE: git-stash with symbolic link. prompt> pwd /Users/neoneye/st prompt> ls -la ~/st lrwxr-xr-x 1 neoneye neoneye 38 10 Okt 07:40 /Users/neoneye/st -> /Users/neoneye/git/code/source_toolbox prompt> git-stash fatal: Not a git repository fatal: Not a git repository fatal: Not a git repository You do not have the initial commit yet prompt> SUCCESS: git-stash without symbolic link. prompt> pwd /Users/neoneye/git/code prompt> ls -la drwxr-xr-x 16 neoneye neoneye 544 20 Okt 10:18 .git drwxr-xr-x 29 neoneye neoneye 986 16 Okt 13:04 source_toolbox prompt> git stash save "did I mess up" Saved working directory and index state "On master: did I mess up" HEAD is now at 90ac45d we can now seek through a WAV file.. finally. prompt> I think the problem is located in the save_stash() function, but im not good at sh scripting to make a patch.
