Re: 'git stash list' vs. non-default 'log.date' setting

I don't think it is a "no-brainer" to "fix" it, even though it may be so to hack it around. Having to give "--date=default" to "git log -g" to cause it to show reflog entries in non-date format sounds like a terrible UI bug to me. I'd expect

    $ git log -g --date=default

to give you the logs in the default date format, overriding log.date, and perhaps either of these

    $ git log -g --no-date
    $ git log -g --date=no
    $ git log -g --numbered

to countermand log.date and force it to show numbered entries.

I _think_ "git log -g" uses a hacky heuristics to choose between date/number based on how you give the stating ref. I personally do not like this dwim very much, but it seems to be stable and established by now, so it may be a good thing to use here instead:

    $ git log -g refs/stash@{0}
    $ git log -g refs/stash@{now}
