Hi!

Using git-2.26.2 (probably quite old), I frequently do:

git add –interactive
git stash -k
# test whether the stages stuff looks OK
git commit
git stash pop
# sometimes I’m getting conflict s to resolve in some files
#...continue work…
git add –interactive
git commit

Unfortunately I many cases I overlooked that “git stash pop” does change the index (i.e.: it does “git add” for some files).
I doubt whether this is useful at all, and specifically I wonder why I cannot use option -k for “git stash pop” to keep the index, too.

So I’m suggesting a new feature 😉

Kind regards,
Ulrich
