I still can't reproduce this, using this recipe:
0. emacs -Q
1. C-x d ~/wip/emacs RET
2. C-x C-v d
I'm now looking at a buffer *vc-dir* that looks like this:
VC backend : Git
Working dir: ~/wip/emacs/
Branch : master
Remote : skangas@git.sv.gnu.org:/srv/git/emacs.git
Stash : Hide all stashes (11)
{0}: On master: assign
{1}: On feature/tree-sitter: wip
{2}: On master: tree-sitter
[...snip...]
3. With point on "{0}:", type RET
Now I get a buffer *vc-git-stash* which is using diff-mode, but I don't
see any spurious control characters.
[time passes]
Okay, I see it now, but I had to do this too:
git config --global color.diff always
But I cannot reproduce it if I use this instead:
git config --global color.diff auto
However, as Emacs can't process those control characters in any case, I
think we might as well apply the patch you suggest. This will save
users from shooting themselves in the foot.
Does anyone see any reason not to?
