Question

I’m able to list git stashes by date with

git stash list --date=local

but how do I select a revision without getting

fatal: Needed a single revision

Answer 1

You need to put quotation marks around the date:

git stash show -p stash@{Friday Smarch 13 13:13:13 2013}

won’t work, while

git stash show -p stash@{"Friday Smarch 13 13:13:13 2013"}

works. (With the date given, it actually gave me the most recent stash, rather than saying it was invalid!)
