Is `true` by default, which means use + the built-in rewrite of it in C. ++ +The C rewrite is first included with Git version 2.22 (and Git for Windows +version 2.19). This option serves an an escape hatch to re-enable the +legacy version in case any bugs are found in the rewrite. This option and +the shell script version of linkgit:git-stash[1] will be removed in some +future release. ++ +If you find some reason to set this option to `false`, other than +one-off testing, you should report the behavior difference as a bug in +Git (see https://git-scm.com/community for details). + stash.showPatch:: If this is set to true, the `git stash show` command without an option will show the stash entry in patch form.
