Right, I am suggesting that latter: that stash should abort if the index
has modified entries. The abort for modified working tree files is done
by git-merge, which can be selective about which entries will be changed
(since it knows which ones need written).  I haven't thought hard enough
to say whether it should be doing the same for the index (i.e., whether
this is a "merge" problem or a "stash" problem).
