Hello,

'git stash save' generates error:

/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-stash: 436: cannot create /home/namsh/work/project/.git/logs/refs/stash: Directory nonexistent

Is it caused by my 'core.logAllRefUpdates' setting? $ git config core.logAllRefUpdates false

Anyway, 'git stash save' works fine after I do 'mkdir -p .git/logs/refs'.

Thanks, namsh
