'git stash apply' in dirty working directory

Hi all,

isn't the stash for fumbling around with my working directory?
So why I shouldn't be able to apply the stash to a dirty working directory?

I'm not even a fan of not being able to pull in a dirty working
directory. There might be some arguments for it, but most of them
boil down that you better should know what you're doing. 

But not being able to apply the stash to a dirty working directory?
Come on!




Greetings,
Daniel
