} `git stash $file` stashes changes as another form than a commit.

Hmm, "git stash $file" doesn't work for me -- it wants a keyword such as
"save" in the location where you have $file, and the only way to stash
selectively is with "git stash save --patch".  I don't see any mention
of stash accepting a file name in "man git-stash".
