From: Elijah Newren <redacted>

merge can be invoked with uncommitted changes, including staged changes.
merge is responsible for restoring this state if some of the merge
strategies make changes.  However, it was not restoring staged changes
due to the lack of the "--index" option to "git stash apply".  Add the
option to fix this shortcoming.
