'git stash push -- {dir}' puts files in stash that are outside of {dir}

[Yuri <yuri@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am in the FreeBSD ports repository.

I run this command:

$ git stash push -m "gh-print-tuple" -- Mk

But then 'git show' shows that the top stash entry also has other files:

$ git stash show -p stash@{0} | grep diff
diff --git a/Mk/Scripts/print-submodule-gh_tuple.awk 
b/Mk/Scripts/print-submodule-gh_tuple.awk
diff --git a/Mk/Scripts/print-submodule-gh_tuple.sh 
b/Mk/Scripts/print-submodule-gh_tuple.sh
diff --git a/Mk/bsd.sites.mk b/Mk/bsd.sites.mk

Why do files that are not under Mk get into stash?



Thanks,
