Ah.  I read your statement as "I don't think I git-added anything, ever".

So this is what stash is supposed to do:

- save the differences between the HEAD and the index

- save the differences between the HEAD and the working tree

- reset the index and the working tree to the state of the HEAD

So indeed, I am as puzzled as you are.  Maybe it was your initial commit?
