I wouldn't be surprised if there's still a documentation bug, though:
a lack of clarity, a missing hint somewhere else, something else
misleading.  That seems especially likely when you say "I trusted the
documentation on this one".  Care to point to the appropriate section,
so it can be fixed?

As I pointed out in a previous email, I'm referring to the --abort
section of git-merge(1):

"If there were uncommitted worktree changes present when the merge
started, git merge --abort will in some cases be unable to reconstruct
these changes. It is therefore recommended to always commit or stash
your changes before running git merge."

Matthieu (and probably others) run git merge with a dirty worktree
most of the time, while I never do (because I read this section).
