For what it's worth, that's how I always add messages to stash.. with
quotes. It had never occured to me to use the form
git stash save working on foo -- needs bar
(no quotes), it's so ingrained that a multi-word message should be
quoted that I would never have thought of even trying without the
quotes! :-)
