Re: Git Stash stages files if there is a conflict

Thanks, Eric. The new git stash branch command you mentioned will come in handy.

changes after stash apply.
When I stash changes, these changes are usually not ready for committing.

I suppose git uses the index to differentiate between conflicted and
unconflicted changes.
So, its not a big deal. Just a bit surprising.

Thanks again for your help!
