Yeah unfortunately this has been broken for pathspecs that match
untracked files since I introduced it :(

That's correct.  That's how I would have imagined 'git reset --hard --
<pathspec>'.

Thanks a lot for spelling this out below.  After reading that I
definitely agree that 'git reset --hard -- <pathspec>' wouldn't be a
good UI, and something like that would belong in checkout.

Ah interesting, what you have below looks good to me indeed, it
matches what I'd expect it to do and fixes the bug that was reported.
Thanks! 

I've taken the liberty to take what you have below and turned into a
proper patch, giving you authorship of it, as you wrote the code for
the fix.  Hope that's the appropriate credit for you for this patch.

From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH] stash: don't delete untracked files that match pathspec

Currently when 'git stash push -- <pathspec>' is used, untracked files
that match the pathspec will be deleted, even though they do not end up
in a stash anywhere.

Untracked files should be left along by 'git stash push -- <pathspec>'
unless the --untracked or --all flags are given.  Fix that.
