Those tests were added to check that `git stash` was being silenced (see
79a6226981 ("rebase -i: silence stash apply", 2017-05-18)). I can have a
think about a better way to do that, but is it still a problem? I just
tried to take a look at your CI output and
https://dev.azure.com/gitgitgadget/git/_build/results?buildId=11406
seems to be all green - have I missed something or has Gábor fixed the
issue?

Best Wishes
