PATCH 1/1 stash: end commit log with a newline

If I do

git cat-file commit $commitid

for a commit created by stash, the next prompt starts directly after the shortlog of HEAD.

Thanks.

I noticed another thing. The entries shown in "git stash list" look like this:

stash@{0}: js/stash: e1d32c1... Teach git-stash to "apply --index" stash@{1}: master: 5be6007... Rewrite "git-frotz" to "git frotz" stash@{2}: master: 36e5e70... Start deprecating "git-command" in favor of "git command" stash@{3}: master: 3b0d999... Merge branch 'jo/init'

But each of the stash is _not_ about these commits, but is about some change that happens to be on top of them.

So risking to make it a tad longer, how about doing this on top?

I like that. I already wondered about that, too. But not as much as thinking about an alternative.

So:

Best regards
Uwe

So:

I am sorry to join the discussion late, but I think it is much better to let the user give a short reminder message from the command line. For example,

  $ git stash add customized message to stash

When I say "git stash list", I want to see which branch I was on when I was in the middle of doing something, and what that something was. It is not interesting which commit on that branch I started that change from. After creating a stash without a message, and then another stash with a message, I want to see:

  $ git stash list
  stash@{0}: On master: add customized message to stash
  stash@{1}: WIP on master: 36e5e70... Start deprecating "git-command" in favor of "git command"

Hi,

git-stash.sh save_stash () { · line 70

Quoted 2 lines · Uwe Kleine-K?nig
git-stash.sh +1 -1
-	w_commit=$(printf 'WIP on %s' "$msg" |
+	w_commit=$(printf 'WIP on %s\n' "$msg" |

Why not

	w_commit=$(echo "WIP on $msg" |

Hmm? It is shorter and more to the point. IMHO it is also more common.

Ciao,

I just continued to use printf to make a minimal change. I don't have anything against echo.

Best regards

Because echo cannot reliably reproduce arbitrary strings. See commits:

You can add this to your list of reasons to rewrite everything in C.
