Re: making "git stash" safer to use

Joachim B Haga [off-list ref] writes:

What makes it most dangerous is that there is no differentiation
between a name and a command in the same position. I'd argue that
either the command should be mandatory:

git stash save mywork
git stash apply mywork
git stash clear mywork
git stash mywork       # error

(we can still keep today's shortcuts "git stash" and "git stash apply", 
but only for the un-named case),

or that the command should be of the option type:

git stash mywork
git stash --apply mywork
git stash --clear mywork

Hear, hear!  I vote for the latter.  The former is still better than
the current state, though.
