Currently 'git stash push -u -- <pathspec>' prints the following errors

This is because we first clean up the untracked files using 'git clean
<pathspec>', and then use a command chain involving 'git add -u
<pathspec>' and 'git apply' to clear the changes to files that are in
the index and were stashed.
As the <pathspec> only includes untracked files that were already
removed by 'git clean', the 'git add' call will barf, and so will 'git
apply', as there are no changes that need to be applied.
Fix this by making sure to only call this command chain if there are
still files that match <pathspec> after the call to 'git clean'.

Either way I'll try to address this as soon as I can get some
time to look at it.
I finally got around to do this. The fix (in the second patch) turns
out to be fairly simple, I just forgot to pass the pathspec along to
one function whene originally introducing the pathspec feature in git
stash push (more explanation in the commit message for the patch
itself). Thanks Marc for reporting the two breakages!
Thanks, I confirm that both issues are resolved. There is another issue
now which seems to be a regression. When *successfully* stashing an
untracked file, local modifications of other files are cleared, too.
$ git init
$ touch file1
$ git add file1
$ git commit -m "initial import"
$ echo "a" > file1
$ touch file2
$ git status --porcelain
M file1
?? file2
$ git stash push -u -- file2
Saved working directory and index state WIP on master: 25352d7 initial
import
$ git status
On branch master
nothing to commit, working tree clean
Hence, by stashing just "file2" the local modification of "file1" became
reset.
