It does make the callers of create_autostash() easier to reason about, but ...

... makes the reader wonder what the empty string is doing here. The fact that reset_head() does not care about the last parameter when not given oid or switch_to_branch parameters feels like too much implementation detail to expect the callers to know about.

Unless it is documented in reset.[ch] before the beginning of the "int reset_head(...)" definition/declaration, that is.
