Currently git-stash writes to stderr also if there is nothing to error out, also it would be very nice ;-) if git 'stash clear command' would support deleting of only one patch, so as example to write

stg stash clear stash@{0}
To remove only the last added.

Subject: [PATCH] git-stash: avoid writing to stderr when is not an error

Otherwise git-stash is unusable by scripts that check stderr to detect fail/success of launched command.
