Subject: "man git-stash" explanation of "--include-untracked" and "--all" seems ambiguous
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2017 12:26:26 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.21.1709290650530.1446@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
from the man page:
"If the --include-untracked option is used, all untracked files are
also stashed and then cleaned up with git clean, leaving the working
directory in a very clean state. If the --all option is used instead
^^^^^^^
then the ignored files are stashed and cleaned in addition to the
untracked files."
the use of the word "instead" suggests you can use one of those
options, or the other, but not both at the same time. but it seems you
can combine them, so that paragraph seems a bit misleading, no?
