Re: [PATCH v2 0/5] Write a good 'git stash store' for autostash

So, I've taken Junio's suggestion and designed a proper command-line
interface for 'git stash store' in this iteration:

  git stash store [-m <message>] [-e <error>] <commit>

I am perplexed; that would not something I _would_ design or
suggest.  The "-e <error>" looks especially odd, in that "-e"
usually refers to something the command evaluates (e.g. sed, perl),
but more importantly if the caller wants a custom error message,
normal programmers would do

	command || die "my custom error message"

and if "command" wants to show its own error by default, perhaps do

	command --quiet || die "my custom error message"

Another result of me taking your suggestion too literally [1], and not
using my brains :/
