I tried to stash staged files with the command above, but got an
error. I even change directory to the top level (where .git is
located) and try to provide pathspec. Same result :(

$ git stash push -S -m "core -> ubuntu Migration" -- tools/ec2.tf
tools/init.conf
Saved working directory and index state On branch/xxx: core -> ubuntu Migration
error: patch failed: state.d/terraform.tfstate.backup:2
error: state.d/terraform.tfstate.backup: patch does not apply
Cannot remove worktree changes

Is there a way to stash only selected staged files from current
subdirectory, eg. `git diff --staged .`

Thank you.
