It being in master doesn't mean it has made it into a release yet, though it means it will in the future. So you have a couple of options in the meantime:

  - Compile Git yourself from the 'master' branch
  - Go back to an older version of git.  v2.23 didn't have this
    problem, but it had a different issue that I was trying to fix in
    34933d0eff ("stash: make sure to write refreshed cache",
    2019-09-11), but where this bug was introduced.
  - set the stash.useBuiltin configuration option to false, which will
    make you use the legacy stash written as a shell script.  This
    also shouldn't have this bug.
