\fBgit freeze\fR works a lot like \fBgit stash\fR, in that it stores the current changes in your working copy and index \fIsomewhere\fR\&. Unlike \fBgit stash\fR, \fBgit freeze\fR stores those changes on your current branch\&. This effectively allows you to \fIpause\fR development of a branch, work on something else, and then come back to exactly the same working state later (by running \fBgit thaw\fR)\&.
\fBgit freeze\fR will make up to 2 commits on your branch\&. A commit with the message \fBFREEZE\&.indexed\fR will contain all changes which you\(cqve added to your index (like with \fIgit add\fR, \fIgit mv\fR, \fIgit rm\fR, etc\&.)\&. A commit with the message \fBFREEZE\&.unindexed\fR will contain all changes which were not in your index at the time you ran git freeze (freshly modified files, new files, etc\&.)\&.
This sets the size limit as an integer number of megabytes of untracked files that git\-freeze will be willing to put in suspended animation\&. A 0 or negative limit disables the size\-limit check entirely\&. \fB100\fR by default\&.
