Re: [PATCH] stash: Add --clean option to stash and remove all untracked files

Jeff King schrieb:

I would be happy with something that indicated "untracked files in
addition to the regular stash". I just think it should be about "add
these other files into the stash", not "end up in this directory state".

Something like "--untracked-too" fits that, but is horribly ugly. I also
think it makes sense to have some way of stashing everything, including
excluded files.  That could just be "-x" in conjunction with whatever
this option is (which matches "git clean"), or it could be a separate
option name (like "--all" or "--ignored").

Things like "git stash --all" or "git stash --thorough" indicate that
you are stashing more, but it's hard to remember what the "more" is.

So I don't have any brilliant suggestions. Doing:

  $ git stash --untracked-too --ignored-too

is fairly clear, but somehow strikes me as unnecessarily ugly and
verbose.

I think `--also-untracked` sounds better. It is even longer, though.

There could also be `--only-untracked`, which would stack only the
untracked files (and let changes of tracked files there).
