Don't we have "git stash -p" already?[1]

I use it all the time, and it's very handy for picking apart changes. I have often wanted "git stash -p <paths>" to work, though.

[1] I had to double check that it was not something I hacked together
    locally and forgot about. :) It's from dda1f2a5c (Implement 'git
    stash save --patch', 2009-08-13). I also worked up a "git stash
    apply -p", but I remember it was buggy, and I haven't looked at it
    in years. It's at:

    if anybody is curious. I don't even recall what the problems were at
    this point.
