Currently I'm playing with --include-untracked (-u) and --all (-a) while I 
fix a bug I found in the patch. I agree that --untracked sounds like it's 
only stashing the untracked files which isn't the case. I wasn't going to 
have an option to stash *just* the untracked files because I can't come up 
with a use case that makes sense. I still like "--clean", too.

-uall (like git status) isn't really the same thing which I think is 
confusing since it has the same name.
