Subject: [PATCH] stash: use named constant when parsing "--all"
Message-ID: <06b58ae0a1d81f4d1518eadecc3385072a72155a.1791108351.git.phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

```
From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

The code that stashes all untracked files compares the value of the
"include_untracked" variable to the constant "INCLUDE_ALL_FILES",
however the option parsing code for "--all" uses a hard coded integer
instead. Replace the integer with the named constant.

So obviously right.  I wish all patches were like this ;-).
