[PATCH 1/2] stash: implement "stash create"

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date
Jul 9, 2007, 07:57 UTC
Message-ID
<7v3azyvwji.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>

This subcommand creates a stash from the current state and writes out the resulting commit object ID to the standard output, without updating the stash ref nor resetting the tree. It is intended to be used by scripts to temporarily rewind the working tree to a clean state.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

 * This is currently only needed for the next one, which I do
   not think is ready for 1.5.3, so both will stay in either
   'pu' or perhaps in 'next'.
