I disagree entirely.

The _only_ default subcommand for git-stash, which makes _any_ sense, is "save". I have run my own version of it several times, and it _literally_ was in those circumstances "hack, hack, hack, aargh, stash that, I'll need it later". "git cherry-pick stash" and "git reflog show stash" were needed far less.

I am utterly uninterested in the stash list.
