Thanks for the detailed bug report below. This is indeed a bug, and
indeed has been broken ever since I introduced the pathspec feature.
Sorry about that.
While I did implement this feature in the first place, I must admit
that I'm a bit out of my depth in terms of my shell foo to fix this
cleanly here.
Just to demonstrate what is wrong, the below diff fixes it (but it
does so in an ugly way that needs a temporary file, and needs a
specific version of the 'read' utility, that supports the '-d' flag,
which isn't in POSIX).
For the pathspec case what we're doing after creating the stash is to
essentially emulate what 'git reset --hard <pathspec>' would do. As
'git reset --hard <pathspec>' doesn't exist, we do so using the
sequence below of reset -> checkout-index -> clean for the given
pathspec.
This works when the pathspec doesn't match any untracked files, but if
it matches untracked files such as in your case it removes them as
well as the files it should have removed.
One solution to that would be to limit the pathspec given to 'git
clean'. And that is where my shell foo doesn't go far enough for me
being able to do that, as lists of filenames, which can include spaces
tend to get quite hairy.
Maybe the best solution would be to introduce 'git reset --hard --
<pathspec>', or maybe someone who knows shell programming a little
better than me has an idea?
