Subject: [docs] git stash show also accepts -p|--patch option
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2020 00:33:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJ9KuXwmk377rEPVrwwpWmwzyO8N20OZUkUTBRoQoo3OuVYbGw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Was reading `git help stash`and noticed the --patch option says:

> This option is only valid for `push` and `save` commands.

But this isn't true, the `git stash show` command also accepts the
--patch command and is very useful as it shows the diff of the stash
whereas without --patch it just shows the filenames that changed. I
see this text in master too
https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/git-stash.txt.

I can gladly submit a patch if this will be acceptable to update the
docs to state that -p|--patch is applicable to the `show` command as
well.
