It is true that stash doesn't touch HEAD. So logically the stash operations should not end up in the HEAD reflog. But maybe creating a reflog only for stashed states could be a good thing. I personally don't use stash that much since I've grown the habit of saving temporary states to a temporary branch before git-stash even existed, which in that case is always captured by the HEAD reflog.
