No, I think there's something else going on. Try this: git init repo && cd repo && echo base >one && echo base >two && git add . && git commit -m base && echo stash >one && echo stash >two && git stash && echo "==> No conflicts, nothing staged" git stash apply && git reset --hard && echo changes >two && git commit -am changes && echo "==> Conflict stages non-conflicting file 'one'" ! git stash apply && git status It seems to be a side effect of merge-recursive to stage the results, and in the no-conflict path we explicitly reset the index. For the conflicting case, it's trickier, because we would want to retain the unmerged entries. So I agree it's kind of weird, but the conflicting case is inherently going to touch the index, and you'd generally have to `git add` to mark the resolutions (but if you really want to just touch the working tree, you'd need to `git reset`). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
