Re: [PATCH 1/2] stash: record positional index in 'struct stash_info'

From: Ben Knoble <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-30 07:43:19

[on mobile, so only looking at patch context]
Le 30 juil. 2026 à 12:41, Junio C Hamano [off-list ref] a écrit :

get_stash_info() resolves revision arguments (such as 'stash@{0}'
or '2') and checks whether they refer to 'refs/stash', but it
does not allow callers to determine the 0-based positional
reflog index.

Record '.stash_idx' in 'struct stash_info'.  Populate it in
get_stash_info(), setting it to 0 when omitted (defaulting
to the latest stash), to 'n' when a valid positional index
'@{n}' is specified, or to -1 when the index specification
is invalid or non-positional (such as a time-based reference).

Subcommands that manipulate reflog entries by index can use
'.stash_idx' directly, instead of parsing the revision arguments
themselves.
I notice even after 2/2 we don’t have any users of this index yet (except rejecting invalid entries as the series goal).

What’s the purpose of the 1e8 constant/comparison? I see we truncate the unsigned long to an int, but even on 32-bit platforms 1e8 is a small portion of the integer range, right? So my read is that we are limiting the valid « n » in @{n}. I’m not totally sure why, though, or if that matches with the rest of the stash manipulation code.
