I wonder if this is the same as the topic on this thread.

What is curious is that the fix bba067d2 ("stash: don't delete
untracked files that match pathspec", 2018-01-06) appeared first in
2.16.2, on which Windows 2.16.2 is supposed to be built upon.

This does not reproduce for me with v2.16.2-17-g38e79b1fda (the tip
of 'maint'); I do not have an  install of vanilla v2.16.2 handy, but
I suspect v2.16.2 would work just fine, too.
