Ah, yes. This would definitely be annoying.
A plain commit will get rid of staged changes, not of unstaged ones.

Your patch shows unstaged changes first. If the only problem was
unstaged changes, then "git stash --keep-index" would be a good
solution. As a user, I prefer knowing both problems to find the right
solution (and avoid trying to solve only unstaged changes before
noticing I need to solve the other one too).
Good point. I'll make the error messages a little more comprehensive
and focused in the next iteration.
