No I don't think this breaks.  It was never possible to add an
untracked argument to git stash create.  The difference is in a part
of this patch that is snipped out in your reply:

        ;;
 store)
        shift

If I understand this piece correctly (I'm not very proficient in
shell, but my testing seems to agree with me), previously we used $*,
which transformed all arguments to git stash create into one argument
in create_stash.  This needed to change to $@, as otherwise we can't
pull the arguments apart for the new calling style.  The two argument
version of create_stash was only used internally in the save_stash
function.
