git: List just the files modified for all stashes

Question

According to the git docs, git stash list will accept any of the options that you could pass to git log.

What I want to do is to pass the --stat option to git stash list. This works, however it seems to show the every file in the repo.

Now, I know there's a git stash show which will show just those files that have been changed, but I then need to manually go through and inspect each one.

Is there any way to get git to show me the list of stashes, with just the changes that were stashed for each one?

Answer 1

Update for Git v2.2 onwards:

git stash list --stat works.

Things have changed since the question was asked and OP's dilemma no longer applies. From Git v2.2 onwards, you can simply pass --stat to git stash list and it will behave as intuitively expected.

You can also use any of the other file listing options such as --name-status, --name-only and --raw available to git log.

The original answer below applies if you're using a version of Git prior to v2.2.

Original answer:

Like this I guess:

git stash list | while IFS=: read STASH ETC; do echo "$STASH: $ETC"; git diff --stat $STASH~..$STASH --; done 

(Tested in Git Bash msysgit.)

git stash show $STASH instead of git diff --stat $STASH~..$STASH also worked but was unbearably slow.
