Hello all,
My first message here. After switching from svn/hg to git and getting some
experience, I feel I'm ready to figure out which questions aren't too
obvious. My feeling is the current question isn't.
Today I was hacking away, only to discover that I was really working on too
much stuff at once. I wanted to stash away a sub-set of my changes, and
leave the rest to focus on first. So I did a 'git stash --patch', selected
the patches I wanted to move away for now. Only to discover that I stashed
away 2 patches too many .... Bummer.
Alas: I kind of hoped I could do something like 'git stash apply --patch
stash@{1}'...... but that didn't quite work: I just got the full stash
applied on top of the working directory (to be verbose: this was done after
stashing the remaining patches).
I hope my situation was explained clearly enough. My question is not about
how to recover. That's easy by redoing the original stash command, but
properly this time. My question is more about learning something more about
git, in case I end up in the same, or a similar situation in the future:
* is there a way to force 'git stash --patch' to create a separate stash
for each patch that I select? This would make it possible to apply each
patch again afterwards, and would have been a perfect solution in my case
as well
* otherwise, is there a way to achieve the result I had hoped for when
running 'git stash apply --patch', namely to selectively apply hunks
In case the answer to both of these is 'No', what would be the proper way
and/or place to suggest such a feature?
Sincerely,
Jakob van Bethlehem
