Note that 'git stash (pop | apply) --index' will reinstate the index as it was at stash time, regardless of whether '--keep-index' was used to create the stash. In other words, your index is not "lost" when you stash. Also note: when you 'git stash --keep-index', although your index remains intact, the changes in the your index still become part of the stash. Hence, any changes to the indexed portion of your files after a stash usually result in a conflict on subsequent 'git stash pop'. This confuses me quite a lot, since I'd expect a main use case of 'git stash --keep-index' to be fixing a up a commit, but then any fixes cause a conflict :P Cheers, -nathan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
