Hi,
 
I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it should be thus.
 
Basically, a 'git stash --keep-index' followed immediately by a 'git stash pop' (no changes made) will result in a conflict.
 
Steps to reproduce:
 
 
Put
 
"AAA
BBB
CCC"
 
into file 'test'
 
$ git add test
$ git commit -m "A"
 
Append lines
 
"DDD
EEE
FFF
GGG"
 
into file 'test'
 
$ git add -p
 
Press 'e' and remove the "FFF" and "GGG" files from the patch, to stage only the "DDD" and "EEE" files.
 
$ git stash --keep-index
$ git stash pop
 
CONFLICT
 
 
I hope that's clear enough.
 
Cheers,
Tim.

Right here, git stash show -p shows that the recorded stash is a merge diff:

diff --cc test
index 7b0e998,988cecb..83b9202
--- a/test
+++ b/test
@@@ -1,3 -1,5 +1,7 @@@
  AAA
  BBB
  CCC
+ DDD
+ EEE
++FFF
++GGG

The index still has the following (git diff --staged):

diff --git c/test i/test
index 7b0e998..988cecb 100644
--- c/test
+++ i/test
@@ -1,3 +1,5 @@
 AAA
 BBB
 CCC
+DDD
+EEE

git diff shows the conflict:

diff --cc test
index 988cecb,83b9202..0000000
--- i/test
+++ w/test
@@@ -3,3 -3,5 +3,8 @@@ BB
  CCC
  DDD
  EEE
++<<<<<<< Updated upstream
++=======
+ FFF
+ GGG
++>>>>>>> Stashed changes

According to the example in the man page, I would have thought that
committing between save and pop would help, but it produces the same
problem. pop --index doesn't help either. Do you happen to know whether
this used to work?
