    git stash makes two commits, one that has no changes from the base,
    and one to stash your changes in.  Why?

git-stash can make up to three commits:

working directory (of files git knows about)
index
working directory (of files git does not know about)

The third commit only appears if you use --all or --include-untracked.

Most likely you do not use -u/-a and your index has not been touched
yet, so you only see two commits, of which one is empty.
