Using git stash -u, but, as title, when there are conflicts untracked
files are gone.

This is a link, for example:
https://www.databasesandlife.com/git-stash-loses-untracked-files/

And this is a reproduction of the bug

# Create a Git repo with a single file committed
git init
echo contents > original-file.txt
git add original-file.txt
git commit -m "Creating the file"

# Create a new file, modify an old one, stash
echo foo > new-file.txt
echo contents2 > original-file.txt
git stash push -u

# Modify the old file in a different way, commit
echo contents3 > original-file.txt
git commit -am "Altering the file"

# Apply the stash, see conflict, but what about the new file?
git stash pop
cat new-file.txt



Git version, on Linux: 2.34.1

Thank you
