Description

I want to create partial stashes (only some files from a filtered list of edited files).

This should be feasible using git_stash_save_with_opts which takes a git_stash_save_options that has a paths property.

Research direction

Locate the existing stash-save entry point and its interop binding, then inspect how git_stash_save_with_opts exposes its paths option. Done means callers can create a stash containing only a filtered list of edited files, with coverage for the partial-stash behavior.
