What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) $ git stash create "example message" 1e9b483d1f9477de5c99a708f4aa512ba $ git stash store 1e9b483d1f9477de5c99a708f4aa512ba $ git stash list What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) stash@{0}: example message What happened instead? (Actual behavior) stash@{0}: Created via "git stash store". What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? The documentation does not explain what the message "argument" is used for. I would have expected that the message would be used by the store command. Anything else you want to add: If the message argument is not used at all, I would expect to remove the argument, or alternatively, that the documentation explains why the argument exists and what it does/doesn't do.
