In other words, a broken "stash" that cannot have be taken with
"stash save -u" may show nonsense? I wouldn't be so worried about
it, as long as we won't crash in "git stash show".
But a larger downside is that you will have to see all diffs from
the tracked paths from A to Z before you start seeing untracked
paths from A to Z, which is not what people would expect how
"include" behave---it is more like "append as afterthought". If we
cannot do a good job showing both in a sensible way, I'd rather not
to see us introduce such an incomplete "--include-untracked" option
until we can do so.
The "only-untracked" one does not have such problem, so it is
probably a good feature to add at this moment, though.
This is not in the scope of this topic, but I wonder if it people
want to have the "--only-untracked" option on the "stash apply"
command.
