Subject: [PATCH v3] Ignore dirty submodule states during stash

From: Vasily Titskiy <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 17 May 2016 18:07:05 +0000

As stash does not know how to deal with submodules,
it should not try to save/restore their states
as it leads to redundant merge conflicts.

Added test checks if 'stash pop' does not trigger merge conflicts
in submodules.
