Hi there,

Please see attached for a bug I encountered while using 'git stash'.
Also, is there any bug tracker that I can subscribe to to keep me

Thanks,

Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
1. Create a brand new file, e.g. 'touch a.py'
2. Add it to worktree with 'git add a.py'
3. stash the file with 'git stash'
4. pop the stashed change with 'git stash pop', WITHOUT the --index option
What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
I expect the file 'a.py' to be in unstaged area since I did not pass the '--index' option to 'git stash pop'
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
The file is found in staged are are after 'git stash pop', potentially causing merge-conflict in certain scenarios
What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
I want the file to be found in unstaged area. The 'git stash push'/'git stash pop' combo works as expected if the file is already added to worktree prior to this maneuver. I think the behavior should be consistent for brand new files as well.
Anything else you want to add:
