If the `--index` option is used, then tries to reinstate not only the working
tree's changes, but also the index's ones. However, this can fail, when you

Create a stash (which is a regular commit object) and return its

$ git pull

file foobar not up to date, cannot merge.
$ git stash
$ git pull
-$ git stash apply

Interrupted workflow::
return to your original branch to make the emergency fix, like this:
+
----------------------------------------------------------------
-... hack hack hack ...
+# ... hack hack hack ...
$ git checkout -b my_wip
$ git commit -a -m "WIP"
$ git checkout master
$ git commit -a -m "Fix in a hurry"
$ git checkout my_wip
$ git reset --soft HEAD^
-... continue hacking ...
+# ... continue hacking ...
----------------------------------------------------------------
+
You can use 'git-stash' to simplify the above, like this:
+
----------------------------------------------------------------
-... hack hack hack ...
+# ... hack hack hack ...
$ git stash
$ edit emergency fix
$ git commit -a -m "Fix in a hurry"
-$ git stash apply
-... continue hacking ...
+$ git stash pop
+# ... continue hacking ...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Testing partial commits::
each change before committing:
+
----------------------------------------------------------------
-... hack hack hack ...
+# ... hack hack hack ...
$ git add --patch foo # add just first part to the index
$ git stash save --keep-index # save all other changes to the stash
$ edit/build/test first part
-$ git commit foo -m 'First part' # commit fully tested change
+$ git commit -m 'First part' # commit fully tested change
$ git stash pop # prepare to work on all other changes
-... repeat above five steps until one commit remains ...
+# ... repeat above five steps until one commit remains ...
$ edit/build/test remaining parts
$ git commit foo -m 'Remaining parts'
