git stash -u deletes directories containing ignored files

Hey there,

I'm sure you've already heard about this because this is referenced on the web, but I cannot find anything about it on GitHub in the open issues nor in the fixed ones.

I'm working with Git for Windows, version 1.8.3.
The .gitignorefile contains a line like this : 'mydirectory/*'.
A new file is added in 'mydirectory' (but it's not showing with git status as it is ignored). Let's say I want to stash several other files (tracked and untracked) and I use git stash -u. The directory 'mydirectory' is then purely deleted, and not stashed. So, unrecoverable.

This happens only if thhe start is present in the .gitignore, because 'mydirectory/' behaves normally.

So is there an open issue about this, or better, maybe it's already fixed in the latest versions ?
Thanks in advance for your reply, and many apologies if it's not relevant.

Someone else has described the bug here:

Regards,
Cyrille
