I haven't spent enough time to think if it even makes sense to
"stash" partially, leaving the working tree still dirty. My initial
reaction was "then stashing away the dirty WIP state to get a spiffy
clean working environment becomes impossible", and I still need time
to recover from that ;-) So as to the desirablity of this "feature",
I have no strong opinion for or against yet.
I do remember that I simulated that feature a few times (either by
adding the to-be-keep stuff (hunks, not only files) to the index and use
--keep-index, and sometimes by making a temporary commit (to make sure
to not lose anything) and then stash). So I think there is a valid
desire of the feature.
I can confirm this from a GUI client perspective, for which this feature
makes probably even more sense than for command line. It has been
requested by our users quite often compared to other features and
compared to "git stash -p" support.
