I have a large number of stashes in my git.git repository (211 at present) and it may be that I, in a mad rush to solve some problem or another, went with the default message. I do this kind of thing with repositories at work all the time. But it's inconvenient to have to search through `git stash list -p` to see which change it was and which stash I need to pop to resume my work, so I can see the utility of this approach. In my case, the stash is likely on an existing branch (such as my sha256-interop branch), so I don't want to create another branch right now, but I do want to distinguish a couple of different stashes. Of course, I don't know what Emin's use case is, but I think it would in fact be useful to have and I can see myself using it. If my use case is valuable to others, anyone is free to summarize it in the commit message as a justification. --=20 brian m. carlson (they/them) Toronto, Ontario, CA --r96HGVJunnCiJ1t5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- wr0EABYKAG8FgmpZSEgJEHwMSWKIh6KBRxQAAAAAAB4AIHNhbHRAbm90YXRpb25z LnNlcXVvaWEtcGdwLm9yZ2TqWhErr73MfNh+4Hb0WwZdlww+3r/XYfN/NR0gO880 FiEECCzmip28ZfuD0cORfAxJYoiHooEAAJ8uAP9pKbw3XiMJTUfA3I1ysP+LsW3s H3aSgkoZis6gt1Ji2wD/dAvfeVEIUW06ntMSJoa+Uzrp7Pmmb+QyFG5Tgd3PSAo= =ipZq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --r96HGVJunnCiJ1t5--
