Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.
What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
1) Create a stash containing multiple files including `foo/bar.txt`
2) perform `git stash show -p stash@{0} -- foo/bar.txtWhat did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
The stash patch output would be limited to only the provided pathspec `foo/bar.txt`
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
Error message "Too many revisions specified: 'stash@{0}' 'test/foo.txt'"What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
The manpage for git-stash states that the SHOW command should support any argument the git-diff command also accepts, but apparently the trailing "-- <pathspec>" does not work with "git stash show".
Anything else you want to add:
For symmetry with git-diff, git-show should also support a pathspec parameter. The reason for this is that `git stash show` has the stash specific `--include-untracked` paramenter, which git-diff doesn't have.
Please review the rest of the bug report below. You can delete any lines you don't wish to share.
