I also get things like:

% stg pop second
popping patch "third"... done
Now at patch "second"

In version 0.11, the "pop" command is equivalent to "goto". I changed
this in the latest version (in the StGIT repository) so that "pop
<patch>" tries to only extract that patch from the stack by popping
all the patches to the given one and pushing them back without the one
you specified. It also supports patch ranges (i.e. patch1..patch4).

That is kind of strange. Pop should work like pop does, for example
the one in Perl or Python, removing n elements from the stack of applied
patches. Not work as "float <patch>"...

Probably I wasn't clear enough. The "pop" operations are as follows:

1. "stg pop" only removes the top patch from the applied patches
2. "stg pop <patch>.." is equivalent to popping all patches to <patch>
(including the latter)
3. "stg pop <patch>" is equivalent to "stg float <patch>; stg pop".
4. "stg pop <patch list or range>" is equivalent to "stg float <patch
list or range>; stg pop <all the patches in the list or range>"

These feature was Yann's idea and I find it to be more in line with
the "push" command.

Nice, and easy to understand. By the way, the same works with "stg push",
doesn't it?
