It was reported in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2037 that git stash -- ':(glob)**/*.testextension is broken. The problem is not even the stash operation itself, it happens when the git add part of dropping the local changes is spawned: we simply passed the parsed pathspec instead of the unparsed one. While verifying the fix, I also realized that the escape hatch was seriously broken by my "backport of the -q option": It introduced four bogus eval statements, which really need to be dropped.
