Would readers misinterpret we are talking about a branch whose name is stash something? I am not suggesting to change ## introducer to some random letters, which would break scripts even worse. Doesn't the Porcelain Format v1 call the same codepath as shortstatus? We promise that its output never changes to support existing scripts, but now they will start seeing "## stash:" that they do not understand and barf? Isn't this information available to scripts that want to read from porcelain v2 output format (which is meant to be extensible by allowing easy-to-parse optional headers, which this stash thing exactly is). Thanks.

I could see where readers may misinterpret this as a branch name. I struggled coming up with something short while not being confusing and thought the presence ':' followed by a space would be clear enough. > Doesn't the Porcelain Format v1 call the same codepath as > shortstatus?

I wasn't aware of the Porcelain formats in detail when originally creating the patch - oops! Naively I was following the same behavior as '--branch' in the shortstatus code path. Diving into this further, the Porcelain Format v1 does call the same code path as shortstatus. I see there is some handling in builtin/commit.c for tweaking the behavior of the branch being showed. The documentation indicates that the behavior never changes between Git versions or based on user configuration. 'git status --porcelain=1' will react to '--branch' but not when 'status.branch' is set to 'true', which is congruent with the documentation. > Isn't this information available to scripts that want to read from > porcelain v2 output format (which is meant to be extensible by > allowing easy-to-parse optional headers, which this stash thing > exactly is). It is not available in Porcelain Format v2... yet :). I'm happy making '--show-stash' congruent with '--branch' in v1', which is would be in line with documented behavior, displaying something in v2 only, or both. Let me know how you would like to proceed and I'll rework the patch accordingly.

If you left it to me, I may say that, among the possible next step you listed, the best one is to do nothing, as I do not want to see the stash info in the "status --short" output ;-) It probably is the safest to make it available first only in v2 format. I do not know if that makes its utility too limited for the purpose of the application you have in mind.

The application I had in mind was to remind me of potentially stray stashes I may have forgotten about when working on a project. I was hoping to add "--show-stash" to my alias for "status --short --branch". The v2 format is a bit too verbose for what I need and having color output is a nice bonus when using "--short". I don't feel strongly for pushing this through, but I am happy with what I have learned through the process of trying :).

Enable printing the entries currently stashed away in the short format. This prints the stash information after the path status to be symmetric with "status --long --show-stash".
