In any case, this is a regression introduced in 'master' since the
last release, and the attempted fix was for an issue that has long
been with us, so I'll revert a7365313 (git stash: avoid data loss
when "git stash save" kills a directory, 2013-06-28) soon.  For
today's -rc3, I'm already deep into the integration cycle, so it is
too late to do the revert it and then redo everything.

Then we will plan to re-apply the patch once "ls-files --killed"
gets fixed not to waste too much cycles needlessly, after the coming
release.

Thanks for a report and discussion.
