In 'do_apply_stash()' we refresh the index in the end. Since34933d0eff("stash: make sure to write refreshed cache", 2019-09-11), we also write that refreshed index when --quiet is given to 'git stash apply'. However if '--index' is not given to 'git stash apply', we also discard the index in the else clause just before. We need to do so because we use an external 'git update-index --add --stdin', which leads to an out of date in-core index. Later we call 'refresh_and_write_cache', which now leads to writing the discarded index, which means we essentially write an empty index file. This is obviously not correct, or the behaviour the user wanted. We should not modify the users index without being asked to do so. Make sure to re-read the index after discarding the current in-core index, to avoid dealing with outdated information. Instead we could also drop the 'discard_cache()' + 'read_cache()', however that would make it easy to fall into the same trap as34933d0effdid, so it's better to avoid that. We can also drop the 'refresh_and_write_cache' completely in the quiet case. Previously in legacy stash we relied on 'git status' to refresh the index after calling 'git read-tree' when '--index' was passed to 'git apply'. However the 'reset_tree()' call that replaced 'git read-tree' always passes options that are equivalent to '-m', making the refresh of the index unnecessary.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
