Hi,
I'm posting this on behalf of Dscho who reported it on IRC, but
apparently doesn't have the time for email.
If you run the following sequence of commands:
git init
echo foo > somefile
git add somefile
git pull elsewhere master
(where 'elsewhere' is any repo having a master branch) the "merge into
unborn branch" logic silently nukes the index AND worktree copy of
"somefile", thereby losing it. The same works with fetch+merge, so
it's not pull's fault.
