Hi,
I see that EGit 1.3 will support git stash:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=208386
(look at the second last slide)
Currently I'm working with SVN and there it's a bit messier doing
branching but once I've branched all my development there is completely
separated from any other branch. When I want to work on another branch I
just change directory.
This is not how it works with git where when I want to change branch I
have to do a git checkout. However, that leaves all the modified and
untracked files in the directory of the branch I switched to. This is
seldom the behavior I want.
With the git stash command I can clean the directory the way I want but
the stash command is not connected to a particular branch.
Will EGit 1.3 be able to stash automatically when doing a checkout to
another branch, and then do an automatic git stash apply with the
correct stash when changing back to the previous branch again?
Thanks,
Daniel

Ok, thanks!
Actually I have one more feature suggestion already now.
When checking out another branch it would be a great feature if it could
also automatically change the set of source files I currently have
opened in the editor. I.e. the currently opened files are connected to
which branch is current, so when another branch is checked out then
first all files are closed and the files that were open last time the
other branch was checked out will be reopened in the editor.
The only way to get the same behavior today is to change the whole
workspace, but that doesn't work practically.

Yes, the post from Chris Beams 2011-03-18 was something close to what
I'm looking for. However, it would be nice to have EGit do the stash
when switching *branch* so I'm not forced to use Mylyn.
Also, with git 1.7.7 you can stash untracked files without staging them.
Using that we would have a very clean branch switching.
