Include Stash untracked files in the Commit Details View

[thmatot]

It would be nice to add untrack files to stash files list (add with git stash -u)

Thanks for raising this improvement request!

Given the below example of how stashes are stored:

*-. 4444444 working changes
|\ \
| | * 3333333 untracked files
| * 2222222 index
|/
* 111111 base

The Commit Details / Comparison View's runs a git diff command to get the diffs between the stash (4444444) & its base (1111111). It's because the untracked files are stored in a commit with no parents (3333333) that it's not included it the git diff output, and consequently in Commit Details / Comparison Views.

git stash show has the same behaviour as git diff, in not including untracked files in its output.

When I originally included stash support in Git Graph, I observed that untracked files weren't being included, which although not ideal, it is consistent with other commands like git stash show, git diff, and other tools like GitKraken & SourceTree. It seems like its a fairly common limitation due to the output of the underlying git commands.

I'll have a look into how best to achieve including the untracked files in the Commit Details View.

I've worked out how to achieve including untracked files from Stashes in the Commit Details View, by using information from the reflog and running an additional git diff command (specifically to get the stashes untracked files).

I'll have this available in the next release.

This will be available in v1.19.0.

If you'd like to use it before the next release, you can download v1.19.0-beta.1, and install it following the instructions provided here.
