I did `git stash` and then `git checkout -b\ndev`. Then I did `git stash apply` and everything worked as expected.\n I continued working but then realized that I wanted a `refactoring`\nbranch. In the process of continuing to work I had also cleared the\nstash stack with `git stash clear`, although this had no visible\neffect other than to remove any entries from `git stash list`. As\nbefore, I did `git stash` and then `git checkout -b refactoring` and\nhere lies my problem.\n\nWhen I do `git stash apply`, it deletes the file I'm working with.\n\n $ ls\n featureList.txt* keycontrol.mdb*\n\n $ git show stash@{0}\n commit b3c0f4b9b3c3ef7741a03fb27174f5838abc939d\n Merge: 9fb9886 112bba9\n Author: Tim Visher \n Date: Tue Mar 10 15:25:04 2009 -0400\n\n WIP on dev: 9fb9886 Added DB Lock file to .gitignore.

Oh well.\n\nThanks for your help!\n\n-- \n\nIn Christ,\n\nTimmy V.\n\nhttp://burningones.com/\nhttp://five.sentenc.es/ - Spend less time on e-mail\n"}]}
