After scanning the manpages for *git log*, I was amazed at how many options it provides for controling the Git repository search experience and formating the log output. Git never ceases to amaze me!

Thank you for the post. I was unaware of this Git search feature. Does *git log -S* search both git commit comments as well as the textual differences?

Did you tried git reflog. As long as there is a reference in git reflog the stashed commit can be accessed and not removed by git gc. Even without a reflog you might try to search for dangling objects using git fsck.

The other side of the story is, that a fucked up stash sent one week of my work to nirvana recently. But yes, generally it works more than fine.
