stash push/pop unstages files?

[Yuri <yuri@xxxxxxxxx>]

In one sub-directory I altered some files, added a directory with files 
and added the changes (git add .)

Then I called 'git stash push && git stash pop'.

After this the newly added directory remained in the staged status, but 
altered files became unstaged.

Is this an intended behavior?

Why stash push/pop unstages files? Shouldn't it preserve the directory 
as-is?


Thanks,

Yuri
