Hello.
I noticed some bizarre behaviour when using: git stash -u.
It deletes folders which contain files configured to be ignored. I
actually lost files by this which I could not restore.
Here is how you can reproduce the case.
1. Create a project folder to act as the root of the repository. `cd`
into the directory
2. Create a folder `tracked-folder` with a file `tracked-file` in it.
Add some content to the file.
3. Create a folder `untracked-folder` with a file `untracked-file` in
it. Add some content to the file.
4. Create a file `to-be-stashed`, add some content to the file.
5. Create a `.gitignore` file with the following content: `untracked-file`.
6. Initialize the Git repository: `git init .`
7. Add all files to be tracked: `git add . & git commit`
8. List the current content of the repository: `tree`. It should show
the following:
├── to-be-stashed
├── tracked-folder
│ └── tracked-file
└── untracked-folder
└── untracked-file
9. Run `git stash -u` and inspect the folder again:
.
└── tracked-folder
└── tracked-file
10. Run `git stash pop` and inspect the folder once again:
.
├── to-be-stashed
└── tracked-folder
└── tracked-file
There you are - you just lost the whole folder.
Can you please confirm or deny if this is a bug? Thank you.
Best regards, Tobias
