The actual command is "git stash create", which will not modify any of your source files, i.e. if you have uncommitted changes, but returns a hash of a "stash" commit, that can then be used in hashdist. Volker, my understanding is that this would be useful for developing a package, to be able to quickly run a build, without committing. But for the end user, you always want to build from some commit. I.e. if I am developing my own library, I would first put it into hashdist (with url to github), and then when developing a new version, I change the url to my local checkout, and I want be able to quickly check that it installs and works, so then I would use this feature.
