I concur with this. Sometimes the stashed changes are remnants of a small hack or a very brief start to an aborted project that I stashed when I needed to change branches.

I may pick them up, I may not, but I certainly don't want to be reminded of them constantly. --=20 brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187 --Mjqg7Yu+0hL22rav Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJTDSw3AAoJEL9TXYEfUvaLoPEP/ijDg5OV0cBB2xS/jQV5ckZB ownZVa9zsRnpddcRdL1jh6xCqix1e8pEO6HwvsvWl2DouvnSQMS/JK8w2LCL5hpM R89phGF3eO4HW+j882X61K96mzWS334b95A6JKuyvpnCL6TqCCZen4kwLgGe6PU1 DtmlqFQZcJSGTMoM/Easusgon1bnKsyVFjg7W7A1OIVTeyBGZWaIM6NlNbz1Wa3o vipZla6E/BL+7CQvAXB0oZSPWqKKAyCMwueTHxHM1Kt84HQG5/rerJYQWT6dTfc/ /eyZIGOV9ZTDfSaaLyc2hLA9P9xLVZm1TLwDyFT2hwq0ZoNf2R/uj7T2NqXLZaCq PQEl1lNglkTw95d6AIkn3yVL1jOIn35QOm8yfm1p/Nbc8PhrNBFQYD5x+jAIQa3s 6GPF/iLBT2v5GRtvF6YPgr3kh/FmIT9GUOICI4eOsTX5ZKW59AucS1fB8ojHyoL+ EjyfSAv4pRWMF4ZFon4uRzN08/J+/KGtHEShdmPGZr9KwfOvotVPeoGdbQ3rf6/I tuyxaoKF7pXX7WaqUKVAF+KfXTx2A2RNb2b0vcrcMCsJmncyw0ePG3MKx7LtR2F2 XOQGs08JmpPvDEdOP8MRB5Mc+bw1KO84jAl4zeX2BPlgUfy6qr7wMrpNKHJeeMIr xvQXdKmFZcwdiM2QzHpT =C9KR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Mjqg7Yu+0hL22rav--
