Certainly you mean "git stash apply".  "git apply" is something
different.

git stash pop --index

I think that should get you exactly where you were before "git
stash".  The --index makes it also restore the index, which
wouldn't happen by default.  Using 'pop' instead of 'apply' makes
it remove the stash after re-applying it.
