title: Files lost after checkouting out to the other branch
body: <p>I want to apply the same changeset onto two different branches.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git init
  touch README
  git add README
  git commit -m "initial"
  
  git branch other
  
  touch file2
  git add file2
  git stash
  
  git checkout other
  git stash apply
  
  git checkout master
  git stash apply
  git stash drop
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And that works. file2 exists on both branches. But if I change to the other branch and then back to master, file2 does no longer exist on master anymore! Why is it happening and what can I do about it? I also have one limitation: I cannot call git commit on master branch after applying stashed changes.</p>
