Ah, OK.  I do not think I would "git add" unrelated pieces in the
first place, so "add -p && stash --staged" as a way to stash away
such a change would be quite foreign concept in my workflow.

IOW, I'd concentrate on finishing the step I am working on, leaving
unrelated changes in the working tree, and when I came to a good
stopping point, I'd do the "stash -k && test && commit" dance,
followed by "stash pop".  At that point,the working tree would have
only unrelated changes that I can stash away with "stash save".

So I guess perhaps your "no such problem for me" is the closest?

Thanks.
