[PATCH 1/2] (resend) stash bug: stash can lose data in a file removed from the index

From: Charles Bailey <charles@hashpling.org>
Date: Apr 15, 2010, 00:24 UTC
Message-ID: <1271291062-32154-1-git-send-email-charles@hashpling.org>

If a file is removed from the index and then modified in the working tree then stash will discard the working tree file with no way to recover the changes.

This can might be done in one of a number of ways.

git rm file vi file # edit a new version git stash

or with git mv

git mv file newfile vi file # make a new file with the old name git stash
