Hpmh. The hunk that updates reset_head() does get exercised by "apply --index", so testing that is OK, but we are also patching "do_push_stash()" to be quiet, so don't we care the chattyness of this step, too?

In these steps, we also want the same "did the command refresh the index?" tests, no?

Other than these nits I noticed, the overall idea of the topic is well presented. Thanks for working on this.
