That is the case in the current git version. I think that in previous
versions, git took the liberty of simply overwriting changed files in
the workspace. At least, I think that's what happened to me a couple of
times around the beginning of the year.
Why can't git simply merge changes properly into the workspace, thus
saving users the unwelcome hassle of, e.g., git stash followed by git
merge followed by git stash pop?
