Hi,
the
```sh
git add config_real.xml
git stash -k
git reset
```
is not very well suited because the -k option to keep the index.
However, the index will still be put inside the stash.
So what you propose is equivalent to:
```sh
git stash
git stash apply stash@\{0\}
git checkout --config_test.xml
```
`git stash --patch` can do the job (and I think that's what I'm going to
use from now), but it's still a bit cumbersome in some situations.
Best,
Edgar

Hi Edgar,

When you have a lot of unstaged files, and would like to test what
happens if you undo some of the changes that you think are unecessary,
you would rather keep a copy of those changes somewhere.
For example
Changed but not updated:
M config_test.xml
M config_real.xml
I have changed both config_test.xml and config_real.xml, but I think
the changes made in config_test.xml are unnecessary. However, I would
still like to keep them somewhere in case it breaks something.
In this case for example, I would like to be able to stash only the
file config_test.xml
Eg:
git add config_test.xml
git stash --staged
So that after this, my git looks like this:
Changed but not updated:
M config_real.xml
and my stash contains only the changes introduced in config_test.xml
`git stash --keep-index` doesn't give the necessary control, because
it will still stash everything (and create unnecessary merge
complications if I change the files and apply the stash)
I often have the same problem. How about doing this:
```sh
git add config_real.xml
git stash -k
git reset
```
The difference between our approaches is that I keep thinking of the
staging area as the place to put changes I want to *keep*, not that I
want to forget for a moment.
Having said that, I am sympathetic to your cause, although I would
rather have `git stash [--patch] -- [<file>...]` that would be used
like `git add -p` except that the selected changes are *not* staged,
but stashed instead.
Ciao,
Johannes
