My 2c on this:

1) "If the --keep-index option is used, all changes already added to the 
index are left intact" (manpage git stash)

That appears to be correct and clear


2) "$ git stash push --keep-index    # save *all other* changes to the 
stash" (manpage git stash)

That is either not correct or misleading. "All other" implies in my 
opinion all changes

except the ones that were already added. *"All changes including already 
staged changes"*

might be a better choice.
