Package: git-core Version: 1:1.5.4.3-1 Severity: normal When working directory and index are clean, nothing happens when git-stash is run. If ran under fakeroot (in debian/rules for example) on the same tree, git-stash makes an empty commit, and consumes a large amount of time saving and checking out the files in the repository, which is rather annoying and litters the repository with unnecessary commits.
An example: $ git stash No local changes to save $ fakeroot git stash Saved working directory and index state "WIP on master: a1dc649... test" (To restore them type "git stash apply") HEAD is now at a1dc649... test Teemu -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages git-core depends on: ii cpio 2.9-11 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.18.0-1 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libdigest-sha1-perl 2.11-2 NIST SHA-1 message digest algorith ii liberror-perl 0.17-1 Perl module for error/exception ha ii libexpat1 1.95.8-4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii perl-modules 5.8.8-12 Core Perl modules ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-11 compression library - runtime Versions of packages git-core recommends: ii curl 7.18.0-1 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or ii less 418-1 Pager program similar to more ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:4.7p1-2 secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original ii rsync 2.6.9-6 fast remote file copy program (lik -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
