On any\nrepository I've tried, with various permutations, I keep getting::\n\n $ git stash\n cp: `.../.git/index': No such file or directory\n Cannot save the current worktree state\n\nI spent about an hour in #git this morning trying to track it down\n(log: http://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_log/git?date=2009-04-10#l1946).\nI've tried stashing with and without content added to the index; I've\nalso tried entirely removing .git/index and then recreating it via git\nreset. No dice.\n\nI'm entirely willing to entertain the possibility that this is my\nfault, but I am fairly familiar with git (been using it for about a\nyear) and so if it is fault it's gotta be something pretty subtle.\n\nI'm concerned by the fact that it doesn't work on *any* repository on\nmy machine, though. I think that points to a systematic problem.\n\nI'm on OS X 10.5.6; Git is 1.6.2.2, built and installed from source,\nthough the same problem happened with the old 1.6.0 I had yesterday,\nand also the 1.6.2.1 I installed via the OSX package.\n\nThanks!\n\nJacob\n"},{"id":"111016","messageId":"7vy6u8whbp.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org","threadId":"18828","inReplyTo":"be4ebbe10904100944p6ec2c0dao8607fcff75d2754e@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: git-stash fails on OSX 10.5","fromName":"Junio C Hamano","fromEmail":"gitster@pobox.com","sentAt":"2009-04-10T17:26:34Z","receivedAt":"2009-04-10T17:26:34Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"gitster@pobox.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/54884?v=4"},"body":"Jacob Kaplan-Moss writes:\n\n> Hi folks --\n>\n> I'm stumped; git-stash simply won't work on my machine.

Given that GNU cp works correctly when I\ndo it by hand (i.e. \"cp -v /Users/jacob/Projects/uri/.git/index /tmp/\"\nworks), I suspect that git-stash is getting the case wrong somewhere\nand Apple's cp is automatically correcting for that error.\n\nThat's my theory, anyway; my bash-fu isn't that good, so I've not been\nable to figure out a way to patch git-stash to work around the\nproblem. I've got a strange setup, I guess, so I understand if this is\na \"just don't do that\" kind of situation.\n\nThanks!\n\nJacob\n"}]}
