This is one thing, and I think when you are resubmitting this patch for discussion (with Cc: to the authors that introduced the (-a|-b) syntax) you should change (list|...) to {list|...} *everywhere* in the git manpages.

This is just simple bugfix in git-stash synopsis, and I think this patch would be accepted (especially now that it is after 1.5.4 released, and after feature freeze) without doubt.
