I’ve tried it. It seems to work. Yet the command doesn’t seem consistent  with Git’s intent for git stash (http://git-scm.com/docs/git-stash (http://git-scm.com/docs/git-stash)) Is git stash –u the best way to accomplish a discard?

git stash -u (git stash --include-untracked) - Best way to discard uncommitted changes?

Git is a version control system for software development. It is a distributed revision control system with an emphasis on speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows. Git was initially designed and developed for Linux kernel development. As with most other distributed version control systems, every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full version-tracking capabilities, independent of network access or a central server.
