Okash KhawajaHi,
If you have some untracked files and your run `git stash -u`. Then `git stash show` doesn't show the untracked files. Is there a flag that can be passed to git stash show to report untracked files?
Thanks, Okash

Not for 'git stash' but you can use 'git show stash@{0}^3(Or, of course, 'gitk stash@{0}' )HTH

Add new files (untracked) + modify some tracked files -> `git stash -u` -> modify the stashed files in a way that `git stash pop` will fail -> `git stash pop` -> it fails so now you would expect none of the stashed files restored but instead the untracked stashed files reappear.
This combined with the fact that `git stash show` doesn't show untracked files suggest that untracked files go into an undefined (or at least undocumented) state when it comes to git stash. Is that something that needs to be looked at?

Changes from the index have the same problem. Probably "stash show" should have options "--index" and "--untracked" to show:
# index git diff $stash^1 $stash^2
# untracked git diff $stash^1 $stash^3
Possibly it should even show those by default when they are non-empty.

Actually, $stash^1 is already the parent of the other commits, so we can just show them as-is. Doing this:
diff --git a/git-stash.sh b/git-stash.sh index 9c70662cc..868d9027b 100755 --- a/git-stash.sh +++ b/git-stash.sh @@ -388,7 +388,16 @@ show_stash () { fi fi - git diff ${FLAGS} $b_commit $w_commit + { + # use --pretty=format instead of tformat, because it omits the + # blank line between the subject and the diff; use "." + # to enable history simplification and drop empty commits. + git show --first-parent -m --pretty=format:'==> %s <==' \ + ${FLAGS} $w_commit -- . + git show --pretty=format:'%n==> %s <==' ${FLAGS} $i_commit -- . + test -n "$u_commit" && + git show --pretty=format:'%n==> %s <==' ${FLAGS} $u_commit -- . + } | git_pager } show_help () { actually looks OK to me, though I don't know if people really like the existing format. With a setup like: git init echo base >file git add file git commit -m base echo index >file git add file echo working tree >file echo untracked >other git stash -u it looks like: $ git stash show ==> WIP on master: 8aa1ec9 base <== file | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) ==> index on master: 8aa1ec9 base <== file | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) ==> untracked files on master: 8aa1ec9 base <== other | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) or: $ git stash show -p ==> WIP on master: 8aa1ec9 base <== diff --git a/file b/file index df967b9..ace4bb6 100644 --- a/file +++ b/file @@ -1 +1 @@ -base +working tree ==> index on master: 8aa1ec9 base <== diff --git a/file b/file index df967b9..9015a7a 100644 --- a/file +++ b/file @@ -1 +1 @@ -base +index ==> untracked files on master: 8aa1ec9 base <== diff --git a/other b/other new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5a72eb2 --- /dev/null +++ b/other @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +untracked And if you have only a single change, it omits the others: $ echo working tree >file $ git stash $ git stash show ==> WIP on master: 8aa1ec9 base <== file | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) If I were designing "stash show" from scratch today, I'd probably do something like that. But like I said, I don't know if people are invested in the current output (which _can_ be piped to "git apply" if need be, though my output could, too, if you do not have index or untracked files). -Peff
