Loss of uncommitted data using unapply

[krlvi]

Hey! This is definitely not something that should happen. Just so that I understand better what happened - after unapply, are you able to see your unapplied branch on the sidebar, but without the most recent changes?

In case there's bug that create such a scenario, it should still be possible to recover changes - check out this guide:
https://docs.gitbutler.com/troubleshooting/recovering-stuff
This is not a super ergonomic recovery process (and we are working on a better interface, which should land this week), but the diffs should be there.

If it would be helpful I can walk you through this on Discord / whatasapp so that you get your changes back. Then afterwords, if possible, I'd love to take a look at the application logs and try to see if I can recreate this.

Sorry for the delay @krlvi .

I ended up finding the documentation on recovery after creating the issue, but I didn't have time to test recovery from wd

just fyi, what I tested and it didn't work

1. Recovery from lost commits (reflog)
2. Recover using git for-each-ref | grep gitbutler, but it did not have the information discarded from the stage.

Having said that, I've already taken a preliminary look at wd (https://docs.gitbutler.com/troubleshooting/recovering-stuff#recovering-a-working-directory-state), it seems to me that at least some of the changes are there.

I'll try to look into this sometime this week, as this specific loss is more a matter of convenience, as it concerns my dotfiles. So it's not something crucial that I can't lose.
