Subject: [PATCH v6 6/6] stash: allow pathspecs in the no verb form

From: Thomas Gummerer <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2017 11:03:13 +0000

Now that stash_push is used in the no verb form of stash, allow
specifying the command line for this form as well.  Always use -- to
disambiguate pathspecs from other non-option arguments.

Also make git stash -p an alias for git stash push -p.  This allows
users to use git stash -p <pathspec>.

 When pathspec is given to 'git stash push', the new stash records the
 modified states only for the files that match the pathspec.  The index
