How do I resolve conflict after popping stash without adding the file to index?

[Dmitry Gutov <dgutov@yandex.ru>]

Hi all,

After the user does 'git stash pop', it may result in conflicts.

However, in many cases they may not intend to commit the stashed changes 
right away, so staging the applied changes is often not what they intend 
to do. However, the conflict is there until you mark it as resolved.

What's the proper thing to do there? 'git add file.ext' followed by 'git 
reset file.ext'? Or simply 'git reset file.ext'?

Either will reset already-staged changes from the said file, which is an 
irreversible operation.

Best regards,
Dmitry.
