NAME
stg-refresh - Generate a new commit for the current patch
SYNOPSIS
stg refresh [options] [<files or dirs>]
DESCRIPTION
Include the latest work tree and index changes in the current patch. This command generates a new git commit object for the patch; the old
commit is no longer visible.
You may optionally list one or more files or directories relative to the current working directory; if you do, only matching files will be
updated.
Behind the scenes, stg refresh first creates a new temporary patch with your updates, and then merges that patch into the patch you asked
to have refreshed. If you asked to refresh a patch other than the topmost patch, there can be conflicts; in that case, the temporary patch
will be left for you to take care of, for example with stg squash.
The creation of the temporary patch is recorded in a separate entry in the patch stack log; this means that one undo step will undo the
merge between the other patch and the temp patch, and two undo steps will additionally get rid of the temp patch.
