And what if you happen to forget to ignore that?  Or if you happen to 
have an strace log in some file (which you did not ignore either)?

Thanks, but I think the semantics of git stash is pretty well defined.  
And it means that you stash away _tracked_ content that was not yet 
committed.

I mean, you can have your desired behaviour with

$ git add .
$ git stash

but if we were to fulfil your wish and change the default behaviour, there 
is no way back to the current behaviour (which I happen to find pretty 
sane).

Ciao,
