Currently 'git stash push -u -- <pathspec>' prints the following errors
if <pathspec> only matches untracked files:

    fatal: pathspec 'untracked' did not match any files
    error: unrecognized input

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'.

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!

v2 also fixes a couple of typos in the first patch which I failed to
notice when I sent it out last time.
