Every time I saw this line, I misread s/form/from/ and got
confused.
I know the below is what the above wants the readers to eventually
[*1*] know:
'git stash save' cannot take pathspecs (nor it can be
enhanced with new options in the future) because any
non-option argument to it is treated as the message and has
been deprecated. 'git stash push' supersedes 'git stash
save'; it corrects the command line syntax by requiring '-m'
before the message.
but I feel that the text in your patch still does not read clearly
enough. But it may only be me.
Thanks.
[Footnote]
*1* By "eventually" what I mean is that it may not be necessarily a
good idea to lay it out all to the reader here at this point in the
document---they may not care why a subcommand is being deprecated,
but for those who want to know, we need to write it down somewhere.
