git 2.8.3: git stash: Cannot save the current index state

git 2.8.3: git stash: Cannot save the current index state

[lnishan]

Hello,

It appears that git stash has been broken for a while (since 2.8.1, 
maybe earlier).

Steps to reproduce:
1. mkdir test; cd test
2. git init
3. touch testfile
4. git add . ; git commit -m "First commit"
5. echo "123" > testfile
6. git stash
=> Cannot save the current index state

Additional information:
`uname -a` => 'CYGWIN_NT-10.0 DESKTOP-69E6675 2.5.1(0.297/5/3) 
2016-04-21 22:14 x86_64 Cygwin'
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise (64bit)


Sincerely,
lnishan

Works just fine for me with v2.8.3, so there's clearly something
different about your environment.

Can you please include the diagnostics specified at:

It might also be useful to have a copy of your ~/.gitconfig file, if you
have one.
