"git stash" without argument originally created an unnamed

This whole thing smells of indecision to me. We should figure out a behavior we want and go with it. Git's command line interface is already confusing enough without adding this kind of variability -- any new user is going to look at this and say, "Why couldn't they just make up their minds?"

My vote is to require "save". We already have an alias mechanism that people can use to turn "git stash save" into a two-word command. And I say this as someone who runs "git stash" and will have to retrain his fingers.
