I often save things by running "git diff >P.diff" on purpose. Should "git status" read these patches and tell me what paths I could change in the working tree by applying it?

How is that different to tell those who want to know what are in the stash to type "git stash list" when they want to learn that information? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
