Subject: [PATCH] Avoid invoking diff drivers during git-stash
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2007 21:33:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071019013350.GA14020@spearce.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <47171A21.9030003@viscovery.net>

git-stash needs to restrict itself to plumbing when running automated
diffs as part of its operation as the user may have configured a
custom diff driver that opens an interactive UI for certain/all
files.  Doing that during scripted actions is very unfriendly to
the end-user and may cause git-stash to fail to work.

 Does this fix the problem?
