[PATCH v2 3/3] stash: restore untracked files AFTER restoring tracked files

["Elijah Newren via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>

If a user deletes a file and places a directory of untracked files
there, then stashes all these changes, the untracked directory of files
cannot be restored until after the corresponding file in the way is
removed.  So, restore changes to tracked files before restoring
untracked files.

There is no counterpart problem to worry about with the user deleting an
untracked file and then add a tracked one in its place.  Git does not
track untracked files, and so will not know the untracked file was
deleted, and thus won't be able to stash the removal of that file.
