Without "Cowardly", the capriciosity of "refusing" does not make much
sense. The error message is a tribute to GNU tar:
dak@lola:/tmp$ mkdir x
dak@lola:/tmp$ tar cfz x
tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
dak@lola:/tmp$
The boring variant would be
$ git stash pop
Auto-merging foo.txt
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in foo.txt
Not dropping stash
$
