lint-staged: refs/stash@0 is not a valid reference

Description

$ npm exec lint-staged √ Preparing lint-staged… √ Running tasks for staged files… √ Applying modifications from tasks… × error: refs/stash@0 is not a valid reference

× lint-staged failed due to a git error. Any lost modifications can be restored from a git stash:
> git stash list
stash@{0}: automatic lint-staged backup
> git stash apply --index stash@{0}

Running lint-staged@123.7 under MSYS2 in Windows 10 but otherwise nothing fancy.

fix: escape curly braces fixes #1121 — committed to ext/lint-staged by ext 2 years ago

Most upvoted comments

The change causes the integration tests to fail on other platforms, I’m going to look a bit deeper at the call to execa and if I can reproduce the issue without lint-staged.

Took me a while to get some time to investigate further, still not sure what the issue is but it seems like git itself is at fault somehow.

const execa = require("execa");

async function run(cmd, args) {
    const { stdout } = await execa(cmd, args);
    console.log(stdout);
}

async function test1() {
    console.log('test 1 - node');
    await run("node", ["-p", "process.argv.slice(1)", "refs/stash@{0}"]);
}

async function test2() {
    console.log('test 2 - git');
    await run("git", ["show", "refs/stash@{0}"]);
}

(async () =>{
    await test1();
    await test2();
})();

I use code similar to execGit.js and gradually removed/changed things until only the bare minimal was left. Running the above script produces the output:

test 1 - node [ ‘refs/stash@{0}’ ] test 2 - git …\node_modules\execa\lib\error.js:60 error = new Error(message); ^

Error: Command failed with exit code 128: git show refs/stash@{0} fatal: ambiguous argument ‘refs/stash@0’: unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use ‘–’ to separate paths from revisions, like this: …

Running git show refs/stash@{0} on CLI works as expected.

-    await run("git", ["show", "refs/stash@{0}"]);
+    await run("bash", ["-c", "git show refs/stash@{0}"]);

Similarly using bash -c works as expected.

The issue doesn’t appear to be within lint-staged at all but I’m still at a loss for what to do. I’d gladly help any way I can, should I file this as a bug to execa instead?
