Looks good but, could you please first write and post the formal man
page section for this new option just to make sure we all understand
each other perfectly? Notably: what happens to the index?

About the name of the option: I think "--spill" makes sense only by
way of analogy with the "stg delete" command. From a user interface
perspective I find it a bit awkward to have the meaning of a command
somewhat "depend" on the understanding of another command. How about:
"stg refresh --undo <files>" or "stg refresh --reset <files>" instead
of "--spill"?

Cheers,

Marc
