Git stash uncached: how to put away all unstaged changes?
Suppose two set of changes are made in a project versioned by git. One set is staged and the other is not.
I would like to recheck staged changes by running my project at this state (before commit). What is a simple way to put away all unstaged changes and leave only staged? So I need unstaged changes to disappear from my project, but to be stored somewhere for further work.
This is sounds very much like git stash command. But git stash would put both unstaged and staged changes away from my project. And I can't find something like git stash uncached.

The accepted answer also stashes staged changes as a few have pointed out. Here's a way to do it without getting your staged changes in the stash.
The idea is to do a temporary commit of your staged changes, then stash the unstaged changes, then un-commit the temp commit:
# temp commit of your staged changes:
$ git commit --message "WIP"
# -u option so you also stash untracked files
$ git stash -u
# now un-commit your WIP commit:
$ git reset --soft HEAD^
At this point, you'll have a stash of your unstaged changes and will only have your staged changes present in your working copy.
