I just upgraded git. I'm on git version 1.8.3.


I ran git stash pop stash@{1} and got this error.

fatal: ambiguous argument 'stash@1': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.

Did you try escaping the {}'s? –  AlexDev Jul 3 '13 at 17:43

As pointed out previously, the curly braces may require escaping depending on your OS, shell, etc.

See "stash@{1} is ambiguous?" for some detailed hints of what may be going wrong, and how to work around it in various shells and platforms.

You need to escape the curly brackets:

git stash pop stash@\{1\}
