How to reverse apply a stash?

Question

I have a small patch saved away in my git stash. I\'ve applied it to my working copy using git stash apply. Now, I\'d like to back out those changes by revers

Answer 1

In addition to @Greg Bacon answer, in case binary files were added to the index and were part of the stash using

git stash show -p | git apply --reverse

may result in

error: cannot apply binary patch to '' without full index line
error: : patch does not apply

Adding --binary resolves the issue, but unfortunately haven't figured out why yet.

 git stash show -p --binary | git apply --reverse
