+git-stash(1)
+============
+
+NAME
+----
+git-stash - Stash the changes in a dirty working directory away
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git-stash' (save | list | show [<stash>] | apply [<stash>] | clear)
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Use 'git-stash save' when you want to record the current state of the
+working directory and the index, but want to go back to a clean
+working directory.  The command saves your local modifications away
+and reverts the working directory to match the `HEAD` commit.
+
+The modifications stashed away by this command can be listed with
+`git-stash list`, inspected with `git-stash show`, and restored
+(potentially on top of a different commit) with `git-stash apply`.
+Calling git-stash without any arguments is equivalent to `git-stash
+list`.
+
+The latest stash you created is stored in `$GIT_DIR/refs/stash`; older
+stashes are found in the reflog of this reference and can be named using
+the usual reflog syntax (e.g. `stash@\{1}` is the most recently
+created stash, `stash@\{2}` is the one before it, `stash@\{2.hours.ago}`
+is also possible).
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+save::
+
+	Save your local modifications to a new 'stash', and run `git-reset
+	--hard` to revert them.
+
+list::
+
+	List the stashes that you currently have.  Each 'stash' is listed
+	with its name (e.g. `stash@\{0}` is the latest stash, `stash@\{1} is
+	the one before, etc.), the name of the branch that was current when the
+	stash was made, and a short description of the commit the stash was
+	based on.
++
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+stash@{0}: submit: 6ebd0e2... Add git-stash
+stash@{1}: master: 9cc0589... Merge branch 'master' of gfi
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+show [<stash>]::
+
+	Show the changes recorded in the stash as a diff between the the
+	stashed state and its original parent. When no `<stash>` is given,
+	shows the latest one. By default, the command shows the diffstat, but
+	it will accept any format known to `git-diff` (e.g., `git-stash show
+	-p stash@\{2}` to view the second most recent stash in patch form).
+
+apply [<stash>]::
+
+	Restore the changes recorded in the stash on top of the current
+	working tree state.  When no `<stash>` is given, applies the latest
+	one.  The working directory must match the index.
++
+This operation can fail with conflicts; you need to resolve them
+by hand in the working tree.
+
+clear::
+	Remove all the stashed states. Note that those states will then
+	be subject to pruning, and may be difficult or impossible to recover.
+
+
+DISCUSSION
+----------
+
+A stash is represented as a commit whose tree records the state of the
+working directory, and its first parent is the commit at `HEAD` when
+the stash was created.  The tree of the second parent records the
+state of the index when the stash is made, and it is made a child of
+the `HEAD` commit.  The ancestry graph looks like this:
+
+            .----W
+           /    /
+     ...--H----I
+
+where `H` is the `HEAD` commit, `I` is a commit that records the state
+of the index, and `W` is a commit that records the state of the working
+tree.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+Pulling into a dirty tree::
+
+When you are in the middle of something, you learn that there are
+upstream changes that are possibly relevant to what you are
+doing.  When your local changes do not conflict with the changes in
+the upstream, a simple `git pull` will let you move forward.
++
+However, there are cases in which your local changes do conflict with
+the upstream changes, and `git pull` refuses to overwrite your
+changes.  In such a case, you can stash your changes away,
+perform a pull, and then unstash, like this:
++
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+$ git pull
+...
+file foobar not up to date, cannot merge.
+$ git stash
+$ git pull
+$ git stash apply
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Interrupted workflow::
+
+When you are in the middle of something, your boss comes in and
+demands that you fix something immediately.  Traditionally, you would
+make a commit to a temporary branch to store your changes away, and
+return to your original branch to make the emergency fix, like this:
++
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+... hack hack hack ...
+$ git checkout -b my_wip
+$ git commit -a -m "WIP"
+$ git checkout master
+$ edit emergency fix
+$ git commit -a -m "Fix in a hurry"
+$ git checkout my_wip
+$ git reset --soft HEAD^
+... continue hacking ...
+----------------------------------------------------------------
++
+You can use `git-stash` to simplify the above, like this:
++
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+... hack hack hack ...
+$ git stash
+$ edit emergency fix
+$ git commit -a -m "Fix in a hurry"
+$ git stash apply
+... continue hacking ...
+----------------------------------------------------------------
