Fwd: Bug in `git add -N xyz ; git stash` command

Hello there,

I think I have found a bug with the following series of commands:

$ git add -N xyz ; git stash
error: Entry 'xyz' not uptodate. Cannot merge.
Cannot save the current worktree state

It has bothered me that `git add -N xyz` "is not obvious that it is
done", unless you know that you did it - and now it seems that there
is some buggy behavior about that.
I could've sworn that there is not even a file change on the
repository (because I sync it between a VM, and after a `git pull` I
saw 3 file changes, two of them being the branch head and the log
branch head)

With regards,
Ntentos Stavros
