So I am not sure if this is a bug. > - git stash doesn't use --index as default > http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/235892 I tend to think "git stash" was designed to work this way from day one. > - using git commit-tree with "-F -" adds trailing newlines > http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/236583 According to the initial commit that introduced this option, it deliberately calls strbuf_complete_line() to make sure we do not leave an incomplete line at the end. Many of the other items in your "bugs" section seem to be worth fixing. Thanks.
