Subject: stash: implement "stash create"
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.4-rc0~209^2~4
X-Git-Url: https://git.lorimer.id.au/gitweb.git/diff_plain/bc9e7399af3790918140c30a5b2c85bf9a8f1ad3?hp=d3392f7e86d130dfafb08736b7fa2067dd2cf070

stash: implement "stash create"

This subcommand creates a stash from the current state and writes out the
resulting commit object ID to the standard output, without updating the
stash ref nor resetting the tree.  It is intended to be used by scripts
to temporarily rewind the working tree to a clean state.
