Filter stashes by pathspec
The documentation for git stash list says
list [<log-options>]List the stash entries that you currently have. Each stash entry is listed with its name (e.g.
stash@{0}is the latest entry,stash@{1}is the one before, etc.), the name of the branch that was current when the entry was made, and a short description of the commit the entry was based on.stash@{0}: WIP on submit: 6ebd0e2... Update git-stash documentation stash@{1}: On master: 9cc0589... Add git-stashThe command takes options applicable to the git log command to control what is shown and how. See git-log[1].
If I run an ordinary git stash list, it shows me a list of stash@{N}, with lots of "WIP on branch1," "WIP on branch2," and so on.
But if I try git stash list -- doc to look for stashes specifically affecting documentation, it does this…
fatal: bad revision 'doc'
If the documentation says I can use "options applicable to the git log command," why won't it let me use path filtering? Is it possible to get the list of stashes that touch a certain pathspec?
