SourceTree will not apply a stash

Question

When I attempt to apply a stash in SourceTree it returns this error:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false stash apply stash@{0}

fatal: ambiguous argument 'stash@0': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.

Use '--' to separate paths from revisions

I'm able to successfully apply the stash using Git. Is there something I need to do to get stash working in SourceTree?

It's windows command line or cygwin problem, because { and } are special characters (I've got cygwin64 with git installed - set as system git - and got same problem).

You can reproduce it using cmd.exe and executing command: "git apply stash@{0}", when you add backslashes: "git apply stash@\{0\}" then it works fine.

Using embedded git solves the problem/

Hi Chris. Is this for Windows or Mac? Also, are you using embedded Git or system Git?
