[PATCH] Makes 'git-stash show' stay quiet when there are no stashes.

(I tried to send this trivial patch for a couple of times using git-send-email, but somehow it never turned up.)

Currently when there are no stashes, 'git stash show' basically aborts with an error message from rev-parse: "fatal: Needed a single revision", which can be confusing. This patch makes git-stash keep quiet and exit gracefully in that case.
