Hi,

By default, git-stash (when called without any other arguments) creates a new stash. This is quite different to the behavior of most other Git commands (e.g. git-tag, git-branch, etc. do "list" by default). In order to improve consistency git-stash should imho adopt this as well.

The creation of a new stash should not do any harm. However, I think that consistency is more important (iirc this has been mentioned in the current survey a couple of times) and doing "list" is (in general) the best default.

Comments?

Cheers, Sebastian
