[PATCH v7 6/6] stash: allow pathspecs in the no verb form

From
Thomas Gummerer <t.gummerer@gmail.com>
Date

Now that stash_push is used in the no verb form of stash, allow specifying the command line for this form as well. Always use -- to disambiguate pathspecs from other non-option arguments.

Also make git stash -p an alias for git stash push -p. This allows users to use git stash -p <pathspec>.

 When pathspec is given to 'git stash push', the new stash records the
 modified states only for the files that match the pathspec.  The index
