Subject: git stash -u deletes directories containing ignored files
Date: Mon, 01 Sep 2014 16:08:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <54047DF1.9020800@pird.com> (raw)
Hey there,
I'm sure you've already heard about this because this is referenced on
the web, but I cannot find anything about it on GitHub in the open
issues nor in the fixed ones.
I'm working with Git for Windows, version 1.8.3.
The .gitignorefile contains a line like this : 'mydirectory/*'.
A new file is added in 'mydirectory' (but it's not showing with git
status as it is ignored).
Let's say I want to stash several other files (tracked and untracked)
and I use git stash -u.
The directory 'mydirectory' is then purely deleted, and not stashed. So,
unrecoverable.
This happens only if thhe start is present in the .gitignore, because
'mydirectory/' behaves normally.
So is there an open issue about this, or better, maybe it's already
fixed in the latest versions ?
Thanks in advance for your reply, and many apologies if it's not relevant.
Someone else has described the bug here:

Regards,
Cyrille
