I tried to reproduce the problem but without success :(
Disk corruption is unlikely - raided drives etc etc. More likely stash
related somehow as I was applying patches manually on older versions
checked out in a temp branch, stashing the results then applying the
stash onto master/HEAD.
But why was a remote clone involved with the upstream stash at all I
wonder??
