The `git stash push` command recently gained the ability to get a
pathspec as its argument to only stash matching files. Calling this
command from a subdirectory does not work, though, as one of the first
things we do is changing to the top level directory without keeping
track of the prefix from which the command is being run.
Fix the shortcoming by storing the prefix previous to the call to
`cd_to_toplevel` and then subsequently using `git rev-parse --prefix` to
correctly resolve the pathspec. Add a test to catch future breakage of
this usecase.

Currently when there are untracked changes in a file "one" and in a file
"two" in the repository and the user uses:

all changes in "two" are wiped out completely. That is clearly not the
intended result. Make sure that only the files given in the pathspec
are changed when git stash push -k <pathspec> is used.

not passed to "git reset". This means that changes that are staged but
that are excluded from the pathspec still get unstaged by git stash -p.

git stash push uses other git commands internally. Currently it only
passes the -q flag to those if the -q flag is passed to git stash. when
using 'git stash push -p -q --no-keep-index', it doesn't even pass the
flag on to the internal reset at all.
It really is enough for the user to know that the stash is created,
without bothering them with the internal details of what's happening.
Always pass the -q flag to the internal git clean and git reset
commands, to avoid unnecessary and potentially confusing output.

When diff.renames configuration is on (and with Git 2.9 and later,
it is enabled by default, which made it worse), "git stash"
misbehaved if a file is removed and another file with a very
similar content is added.
* jk/stash-disable-renames-internally:
stash: prefer plumbing over git-diff
When creating a stash, we need to look at the diff between
the working tree and HEAD, and do so using the git-diff
porcelain. Because git-diff enables porcelain config like
renames by default, this causes at least one problem. The
--name-only format will not mention the source side of a
rename, meaning we will fail to stash a deletion that is
part of a rename.
We could fix that case by passing --no-renames, but this is
a symptom of a larger problem. We should be using the
diff-index plumbing here, which does not have renames
enabled by default, and also does not respect any
potentially confusing config options.

Instead of referencing "stash@{n}" explicitly, make it possible to
simply reference as "n". Most users only reference stashes by their
position in the stash stack (what I refer to as the "index" here).
The syntax for the typical stash (stash@{n}) is slightly annoying and
easy to forget, and sometimes difficult to escape properly in a
script. Because of this the capability to do things with the stash by
simply referencing the index is desirable.
This patch includes the superior implementation provided by Øsse Walle
(thanks for that), with a slight change to fix a broken test in the test
suite. I also merged the test scripts as suggested by Jeff King, and

In shell code like:
test -z $foo
test -n $foo
that does not quote its arguments, it's easy to think that
it is actually looking at the contents of $foo in each case.
But if $foo is empty, then "test" does not see any argument
at all! The results are quite subtle.
POSIX specifies that test's behavior depends on the number
of arguments it sees, and if $foo is empty, it sees only
one. The behavior in this case is:
1 argument: Exit true (0) if $1 is not null; otherwise,
exit false.
So in the "-z $foo" case, if $foo is empty, then we check
that "-z" is non-null, and it returns success. Which happens
to match what we expected. But for "-n $foo", if $foo is
empty, we'll see that "-n" is non-null and still return
success. That's the opposite of what we intended!
Furthermore, if $foo contains whitespace, we'll end up with
more than 2 arguments. The results in this case are
generally unspecified (unless the first part of $foo happens
to be a valid binary operator, in which case the results are
specified but certainly not what we intended).
And on top of this, even though "test -z $foo" _should_ work
for the empty case, some older shells (reportedly ksh88)
complain about the missing argument.
So let's make sure we consistently quote our variable
arguments to "test". After this patch, the results of:
git grep 'test -[zn] [^"]'
are empty.

This reverts commit ed178ef13a.
That commit was an attempt to improve the safety of applying
a stash, because the application process may create
conflicted index entries, after which it is hard to restore
the original index state.
Unfortunately, this hurts some common workflows around "git
stash -k", like:
git add -p ;# (1) stage set of proposed changes
git stash -k ;# (2) get rid of everything else
make test ;# (3) make sure proposal is reasonable
git stash apply ;# (4) restore original working tree
If you "git commit" between steps (3) and (4), then this
just works. However, if these steps are part of a pre-commit
hook, you don't have that opportunity (you have to restore
the original state regardless of whether the tests passed or
failed).
It's possible that we could provide better tools for this
sort of workflow. In particular, even before ed178ef, it
could fail with a conflict if there were conflicting hunks
in the working tree and index (since the "stash -k" puts the
index version into the working tree, and we then attempt to
apply the differences between HEAD and the old working tree
on top of that). But the fact remains that people have been
using it happily for a while, and the safety provided by
ed178ef is simply not that great. Let's revert it for now.
In the long run, people can work on improving stash for this
sort of workflow, but the safety tradeoff is not worth it in
the meantime.

The option parser for git-stash stuffs unknown flags into
the $FLAGS variable, where they can be accessed by the
individual commands. However, most commands do not even look
at these extra flags, leading to unexpected results like
this:
$ git stash drop --help
Dropped refs/stash@{0} (e6cf6d80faf92bb7828f7b60c47fc61c03bd30a1)
We should notice the extra flags and bail. Rather than
annotate each command to reject a non-empty $FLAGS variable,
we can notice that "stash show" is the only command that
actually _wants_ arbitrary flags. So we switch the default
mode to reject unknown flags, and let stash_show() opt into
the feature.

"git stash pop/apply" forgot to make sure that not just the working
tree is clean but also the index is clean. The latter is important
as a stash application can conflict and the index will be used for
conflict resolution.
* jk/stash-require-clean-index:
stash: require a clean index to apply
t3903: avoid applying onto dirty index
t3903: stop hard-coding commit sha1s
If you have staged contents in your index and run "stash
apply", we may hit a conflict and put new entries into the
index. Recovering to your original state is difficult at
that point, because tools like "git reset --keep" will blow
away anything staged. We can make this safer by refusing to
apply when there are staged changes.
It's possible we could provide better tooling here, as "git
stash apply" should be writing only conflicts to the index
(so we know that any stage-0 entries are potentially
precious). But it is the odd duck; most "mergy" commands
will update the index for cleanly merged entries, and it is
not worth updating our tooling to support this use case
which is unlikely to be of interest (besides which, we would
still need to block a dirty index for "stash apply --index",
since that case _would_ be ambiguous).

Teach "git stash list -p" to show the difference between the base

what "git show" gives.
* jk/stash-list-p:
stash: default listing to working-tree diff
When you list stashes, you can provide arbitrary git-log
options to change the display. However, adding just "-p"
does nothing, because each stash is actually a merge commit.
This implementation detail is easy to forget, leading to
confused users who think "-p" is not working. We can make
this easier by defaulting to "--first-parent -m", which will
show the diff against the working tree. This omits the
index portion of the stash entirely, but it's simple and it
matches what "git stash show" provides.
People who are more clueful about stash's true form can use
"--cc" to override the "-m", and the "--first-parent" will
then do nothing. For diffs, it only affects non-combined
diffs, so "--cc" overrides it. And for the traversal, we are
walking the linear reflog anyway, so we do not even care
about the parents.

This reverts commit a73653130e, as it
has been reported that "ls-files --killed" is too time-consuming in
a deep directory with too many untracked crufts (e.g. $HOME/.git
tracking only a few files).
We'd need to revisit it later but "ls-files --killed" needs to be
optimized before it happens.
"stash save" is about saving the local change to the working tree,
but also about restoring the state of the last commit to the working
tree. When a local change is to turn a non-directory to a directory,
in order to restore the non-directory, everything in the directory
needs to be removed.
Which is fine when running "git stash save --include-untracked",
but without that option, untracked, newly created files in the
directory will have to be discarded, if the state you are restoring
to has a non-directory at the same path as the directory.
Introduce a safety valve to fail the operation in such case, using
the "ls-files --killed" which was designed for this exact purpose.
The "stash save" is stopped when untracked files need to be
discarded because their leading path ceased to be a directory, and
the user is required to pass --force to really have the data
removed.

save_stash() contains the logic for doing two potentially independent

second is updating the stash ref/ reflog accordingly. While the first
operation is abstracted out into a create_stash() for callers to access
via 'git stash create', the second one is not. Fix this by factoring
out the logic for storing the stash into a store_stash() that callers
can access via 'git stash store'.
Like create, store is not intended for end user interactive use, but for
