Dear Git Team,

I am writing to report a potential bug encountered while using the "git stash" command. The issue was observed during a troubleshooting. Please find the details below:

Problem Description:

The "git stash" command is not providing any feedback or indication of execution, even though modifications are present and the stash operation is attempted.
Steps to Reproduce:

Make modifications to a file.
Execute "git stash" to stash changes.
Expected Behavior:

The "git stash" command should provide feedback on the stash operation, confirming whether it was successful or if there were any errors.
Additional Information:
The issue was initially observed when executing "git commit -a --amend" and pressing Ctrl+Z to exit. Subsequent attempts to use "git stash" resulted in an error.
Testing with a provided ZIP file containing a problematic repository confirmed the issue's recurrence.
Investigation and Findings:

Upon investigation, it was discovered that the use of Ctrl+Z after "git commit -a --amend" might be the root cause.
Deleting a lock file left behind by the incomplete git command resolved the issue, indicating a potential bug in how "git stash" handles incomplete commands.
Recommendation:

The "git stash" command should provide meaningful feedback or error messages to users, even in cases where the operation is incomplete or encounters issues.
Steps to Reproduce the Bug:

Execute "git commit -a --amend."
Press Ctrl+Z to exit the command.
Attempt "git stash."
Attachment:
A ZIP file containing a problematic repository is attached for your reference.
Impact:

The bug affects users' ability to use the "git stash" command effectively, leading to potential confusion and hindering workflow.
Resolution:


I appreciate your attention to this matter, and I believe addressing this bug will enhance the overall user experience with Git. If further information or testing is required, please feel free to reach out.


Best regards,
Moti
