[PATCH] stash: disable literal treatment when passing top pathspec

do_push_stash() passes ":/" as the pathspec to two subprocess calls. When pathspecs are interpreted literally for the main process, these subprocess calls do not behave as intended:

 * the 'git clean' call, triggered by --include-untracked, does not
   remove untracked files from the working tree
 * the 'git checkout' call, triggered by --keep-index, fails with a
   message about ":/" not matching any known files, and the main
   command exits with a non-zero status

Fix both of these spots by passing --no-literal-pathspecs to the subprocess commands.
