builtin/stash: fix `--keep-index --include-untracked` with empty HEAD
It was reported that creating a stash with `--keep-index --include-untracked` causes an error when HEAD points to a commit whose tree is empty: $ git stash push --keep-index --include-untracked error: pathspec ':/' did not match any file(s) known to git This error comes from `git checkout --no-overlay $i_tree -- :/`, which we execute to reset the working tree to the state in our index. As the tree generated from the index is empty in our case, ':/' does not match any files and thus causes git-checkout(1) to error out. Fix the issue by skipping the checkout when the index tree is empty. As explained in the in-code comment, this should be the correct thing to do as there is nothing that we'd have to reset in the first place.
