Hi Recently i stumbled upon an old stash entry. It was clear to me that the stash only contained non-indexed worktree changes. So i assumed to get insight by doing
$ git log -1 -p stash@{0} But surprisingly the result was "no patch" (The problem which i was not aware at that time was the fact that a stash commit is a merge). So i asked a question on stackoverflow (1) an learned that there are different default options used depending on the git command used: $ git show stash@{0} $ git diff stash@{0}^..stash@{0} work with default, but for git-log i need to $ git log -1 -p --cc stash@{0} to make it behave the same. This does not seem reasonable to me, though i read about commit 1aec791 (2) in git's own repository. What do you think? Maybe - as a compromise - just show any kind of hint instead of nothing?
