git stash push -u deletes untracked files

Hi,

Using Git 2.16.3 on MacOS 10.13.3, running `git stash push
--include-untracked` deletes the untracked files specified in its
arguments and creates an empty stash commit.

In the example below, I create a repository with a single file and a
single commit. Then I create two untracked files and push one of them
to the stash. Although I get an error, an empty stash commit is
generated and the specified file is deleted.

```
$ git init . && touch README && git commit -m "README"
$ touch my-file my-other-file
$ git status
On branch master
Untracked files:
my-file
my-other-file

nothing added to commit but untracked files present
$ git stash push -u my-file
Saved working directory and index state WIP on master: e89afc6 README
fatal: pathspec 'my-file' did not match any files
error: unrecognized input
$ git status
On branch master
Untracked files:
my-other-file

nothing added to commit but untracked files present
$ git stash list
stash@{0}: WIP on master: e89afc6 README
$ git stash show
$
$ ls
README        my-other-file
```

I tested this using git built from the latest commit on master at the
time of writing (c2a499e6c31ed613a606ffdeb5bb74ab41e9a586) and got the
same results. Could you please check it out?


Thank you,

Hosam Aly
