While working on a repository, it's often helpful to stash the changes
of a single or multiple files, and leave others alone. Unfortunately
git currently offers no such option. git stash -p can be used to work
around this, but it's often impractical when there are a lot of changes
over multiple files.
Allow 'git stash push' to take pathspec to specify which paths to stash.

The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.
The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.
The patch was generated by:
for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")
do
sed -i 's@`\(.*\)`@$(\1)@g' ${_f}
done
and then carefully proof-read.

When performing a plain "git stash" (without --patch), git-diff would fail
with "fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': both revision and filename". The
output was piped into git-update-index, masking the failed exit status.
The output is now sent to a temporary file (which is cleaned up by
existing code), and the exit status is checked. The "HEAD" arg to the
git-diff invocation has been disambiguated too, of course.
In patch mode, "git stash -p" would fail harmlessly, leaving the working
dir untouched. Interactive adding is fine, but the resulting tree was
diffed with an ambiguous 'HEAD' argument.
Use >foo (no space) when redirecting output.
In t3904, checks and operations on each file are in the order they'll
appear when interactively staging.
In t3905, fix a bug in "stash save --include-untracked -q is quiet": The
redirected stdout file was considered untracked, and so was removed from
the working directory. Use test path helper functions where appropriate.

The two new stash options --include-untracked and --all do not remove the
untracked and/or ignored files that are stashed if those files reside in
a subdirectory. e.g. the following sequence fails:
mkdir untracked &&
echo hello >untracked/file.txt &&
git stash --include-untracked &&
test ! -f untracked/file.txt
Within the git-stash script, git-clean is used to remove the
untracked/ignored files, but since the -d option was not supplied, it does
not remove directories.
So, add -d to the git-clean arguments, and update the tests to test this
functionality.

It is common practice in the git test suite to use the file names 'actual'
and 'expect' to hold the actual and expected output of commands. So change
the name 'output' to 'actual'.
Additionally, swap the order of arguments to test_cmp when comparing
expected output and actual output so that if diff output is produced, it
describes how the actual output differs from what was expected rather than
the other way around.

The --include-untracked option acts like the normal "git stash save" but
also adds all untracked files in the working directory to the stash and then
calls "git clean --force --quiet" to restore the working directory to a
pristine state.
This is useful for projects that need to run release scripts. With this
option, the release scripts can be from the main working directory so one
does not have to maintain a "clean" directory in parallel just for
releasing. Basically the work-flow becomes:
$ git tag release-1.0
$ git stash --include-untracked
$ make release
$ git clean -f
$ git stash pop
"git stash" alone is not enough in this case--it leaves untracked files
lying around that might mess up a release process that expects everything to
be very clean or might let a release succeed that should actually fail (due
to a new source file being created that hasn't been committed yet).
