I can stash the whole working directory with vc-git-stash, but what if I want to stash changes of the current file only?

Does VC support this?

Yes. In a vc-dir buffer, mark this(these) file(s) and stash then via "z C".

Best regards, Michael.

z  is undefined for me in emacs stable, so it must be a 29 development, but thanks anyway.

Indeed. But you can use the VC-Dir menue.

Best regards, Michael.

I checked the VC-Dir left mouse context menu. No stash there.

Then I checked the menu bar menu which I usually don't see,
because I always have the menu bar off, and I can see it there.

I wonder why the stash commands are not on the context menu,
considering that if one wants to stash a single file or
the marked files then it's logical to use the context menu for it.

The stash commands are on the context menu
when you enable context-menu-mode in Emacs 28.

Great, thanks!

Is there a reason why this is not the default? If the user
invokes a context menu then he expects context-related
things on this menu, doesn't he?

This means enabling context menus globally by default.

Yes. Shouldn't context-related items be on context menus
by default? Isn't this what context menus are for?

E.g. Shift-F10 runs the command context-menu-open. If I press
this then I expect to see a context menu containing
context-related items.

Why does the user have to manually enable a mode just to
see context-related items on a menu, which is called
context-menu?
