Stash creation fails because the add -N status\nis not quite \"tracked but no content staged\", but rather you _have_ to\nstage the files at a later point. git add -N is just a reminder thing?\n\nError output:\nplugin-gui.log: not added yet\nfatal: git-write-tree: error building trees\nCannot save the current index state\n\nShame, I wish the above script worked.\n\nUlrik Sverdrup\n\n\n>\n> So we use add -N to put all files into tracked but unstaged by default, but we\n> keep our old index.
