Yeah, I agree that makes sense. We already show something like:
  Dropped refs/stash@{0} (31cb86c3d700d241e315d989f460e3e83f84fa19)
when dropping. Perhaps model the message after that:
  Applying refs/stash@{0} (31cb86c3d700d241e315d989f460e3e83f84fa19)

Or maybe it would be useful to actually show the stash subject, though the defaults are not very informative (just "WIP on master", and then some totally irrelevant commit subject).
