Since this is an itch of my own, I have a local copy of git-stash that does this (stashes away the untracked -- but not ignored -- files, and restores them as untracked upon "stash apply"); unfortunately, I'm pretty new to git, so I'm certain my code is *quite* unoptimized and ugly. As soon as I feel comfortable with it (which should include making the new behavior optional), I'll drop a line here with some code. :-)
