Right. So I did a quick search on google and github for this, and
there seems one place where git stash create -m is used [1]. From a
quick look it does however not seem like the -m in the stash message
is of any significance there, but rather that the intention was to use
a flag that doesn't exist.
I *think* this regression is acceptable, but I'm happy to introduce
another verb if people think otherwise.

I'll add something there, thanks!
