Not really:

$ git status
# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
#       modified:   README
#
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#
#       modified:   NEWS

$ git stash
Saved "WIP on master: 61135ee... Use check_PROGRAMS instead of noinst_PROGRAMS."
HEAD is now at 61135ee... Use check_PROGRAMS instead of noinst_PROGRAMS.
$ git stash apply --index
error: No changes
Conflicts in index. Try without --index.

(This is git version 1.5.3.1.)

I don't know what "git stash apply --index" does, since it's not documented.
