Stash missing, but not. Can apply, but not drop or list the stash.

["mattjackets" <mattlist@fastmail.fm>]

I have a strange stash problem.  There is a single stash in the repo.

git stash apply 0  --  works, but results in a conflict.  Lets just go
ahead and drop the stash...

git stash list  --  shows nothing.  huh?  Lets go ahead with the drop
anyway and hope it works...

$ git stash drop stash@{0}
fatal: Log .git/logs/refs/stash is empty.
stash@{0}: not a valid stashed state

sure enough, .git/logs/refs/stash is empty

git stash clear  --  does nothing

I'm at a loss.  I can apply the stash cleanly to older revisions, and
gitk still shows the stash branch.  How can I fix this?  is it safe to
simply delete the stash branch as if it was any other branch?

Thanks,
Matt
