Hi!
I don't know if this is a software or documentation bug.
man git-stash says about --keep-index:
If the --keep-index option is used, all changes already added to
the index are left intact.
If a file is deleted and this deletion is in the index a following
$ git stash push --keep-index
keeps this deletion in the index but not in the working-tree.
If a file is changed and this change is in the index a following
$ git stash push --keep-index
keeps this change in the index and also in the working-tree.
This is inconsistent.
------------- deletion -------------
$ git status
On branch master
Changes to be committed:
(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
deleted: test-file
$ git stash push --keep-index
Saved working directory and index state WIP on master: a3171f887b new test-file
$ git status
On branch master
Changes to be committed:
(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
deleted: test-file
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
test-file
------------- change -------------
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
Changes to be committed:
(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
modified: test-file
$ git stash push --keep-index
Saved working directory and index state WIP on master: a3171f887b new test-file
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
Changes to be committed:
(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
modified: test-file
--------------------------
My expectation was that the deletion would be preserved within the
working-tree because this is a change added to the index and should be
left intact.
Best regards
Martin Nicolay
