git stash doesn't stash away unversioned files

You should mention that git stash doesn't stash away files that are not in the index yet. It can cause much trouble if you e.g. do a git clean -dfx on the super-urgent-bugfix branch. However, 1.7.7 and up has git stash -u to do this.

@gergelypolonkai That's a point that could indeed be helpful to some readers. Could you submit a pull request with some potential changes and we can iterate with you from there?
