Doesn't "git stash pop --index" meant to recover from such a
mistake, though?  If you stash, because your "git commit" notices
there is no change after you did "git stash" without "-k", your
recovery to "pop --index" would apply the changes to the index and
to the working tree on top of exactly the same commit, so there is
no risk of losing any changes by doing so, right?  IOW, such a pop
will always round-trip.
