It could be misleading for novices.

Yeah, I think that's a good idea. Do you want to try your hand at a patch? -Peff ``` ## Jeff King, 2017-05-25 21:54 Subject: Re: Documentation issue: git-stash examples Message-ID: <20170525215403.v5fzw7amicyftbgi@sigill.intra.peff.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20170525215403.v5fzw7amicyftbgi%40sigill.intra.peff.net In-Reply-To: ``` On Fri, May 26, 2017 at 08:37:41AM +1200, Adrian Forbes wrote: > Yep, but how do I send it back to you? As a mail attachment? Usually you'd send it to the list, with the commit message in the body and the patch inline below, as generated by "git format-patch". Unfortunately gmail is notorious for corrupting whitespace in message bodies. You can use git-send-email to send the mails (but you'll need to configure your gmail smtp information; see the EXAMPLE section of "git help send-email"). Alternatively, you can make a pull request to https://github.com/git/git and then send it to the list via https://submitgit.herokuapp.com/. -Peff ```
