It is a little unfortunate that a stash will do this:

HEAD ------- stash
    \       /
      index

In other words, the index will be "committed" as a regular commit, but the working directory will actually be a "merge commit".

So you need to add "--cc" to see the commit.

Further, the stash is not just a branch. The stash is actually a stack of reflogs. So could you try again, with

	$ git log --cc -Sfoo --walk-reflogs stash
