Update draft release notes to 1.6.1" HEAD is now at 2dd6202 Update draft release notes to 1.6.1 (To restore them type "git stash apply") doener@atjola:git (master) $ git stash drop Dropped refs/stash@{0} (e692e43ce03fe0b5f0eb94123123ea61a0f2097a) fatal: Log .git/logs/refs/stash is empty. git version 1.6.1.rc1.56.g2dd62 After "git stash drop" finished the rev-parse won't complain anymore, even if you recreate an empty .git/logs/refs/stash file, because .git/refs/stash is also gone, and then it doesn't seem to care anymore. But having a valid ref and an empty log makes it unhappy: doener@atjola:git (master) $ git rev-parse HEAD > .git/refs/stash doener@atjola:git (master) $ : > .git/logs/refs/stash doener@atjola:git (master) $ git rev-parse -q --verify 'refs/stash@{1}' fatal: Log .git/logs/refs/stash is empty.
