I switch between branches, create and delete branches, stash save and pop, etc. frequently and it would be great for me if there was a way to have a global reflog that showed every operation, independent of a particular branch. Is there some way to enable this? ``` ## Nicolas Pitre, 2010-02-14 21:56 Subject: Re: Global reflog?

For example, I made a test change, did git stash, and then git stash pop. When I do git reflog, I don't see the stash commit or the delete of the stash. Is there a way to enable that? ``` ## Nicolas Pitre, 2010-02-15 04:24 Subject: Re: Global reflog?

It is true that stash doesn't touch HEAD. So logically the stash operations should not end up in the HEAD reflog. But maybe creating a reflog only for stashed states could be a good thing. I personally don't use stash that much since I've grown the habit of saving temporary states to a temporary branch before git-stash even existed, which in that case is always captured by the HEAD reflog.
