Example (bash):
> cd ~/repo1
> git stash create
Clearly something is wrong, maybe there is already something stashed?
> git stash drop
No stash entries found
Maybe there is something wrong with git, pick a random other repository and rerun:
> cd ~/repo2
> git stash create

What's going on here?
If there's nothing to stash, there's no unstaged or staged changes, it won't make a commit object.
$ git status
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: this
$ git stash create
a42c068d4b8139a6d572ad04e77f1bd0057b3408
$ git restore this
$ git status
On branch master
nothing to commit, working tree clean
$ git stash create
