Things like this is why I don’t use the stash.[1][2] I just commit everything of value and non-value.

† 1: With very rare exceptions where the stash is popped before the
    whole operation leaves my own working memory
† 2: Also how you have to find unreachable objects using git-fsck(1) if
    you pop the last stash
