Yup, I agree that I would definitely call them "stash entries" if I were writing the documentation today, but lets match the new message to the existing lingo first and think about renaming "a stash" to "a stash entry" as a separate step. The latter would become a larger change (we'd also need to add an entry to glossary-contents.txt).
