VS2019 - Can't name Git stashes
-
In VS2017, I think, stashes are handled by an extension, and there is a "Stashes" tab on Team Explorer. Now in 2019, I haven't added any extensions, but see the ability to stash is already there, on the "Changes" tab of Team Explorer. However, this stash feature only auto-assigns a read-only name to each stash based on something like the most recent commit message. Unlike 2017, I cannot enter a name for my stash. I have a particular naming convention for stashes, and now with 2019 taking that away from me, what am I to do to understand the contents/phase of each stash. Doesn't anyone else miss this feature, or have I missed something and you can happily name stashes?

If you add some text in the comment box before stashing your changes it will be used as the name of the stash...

What comment box? The one used for commit messages normally? There is no other comment box anywhere near the stash menu.

That's the one... When you are going to 'Changes' enter some text then pick 'Stash all'... it should do the trick...
