In preparation for the same functionality in the upcoming built-in version of `git stash`, let's offer the same functionality as an API function. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin [tg: add docs; make it a bug to call the function before other functions in the ident API] Signed-off-by: Thomas Gummerer Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano ---
