Hello,


Is there any way to recover a stash as a... stash? I accidently removed
a stash I still need and I'd like to recover it as a stash. I can see
the dangling commit objects in the database with git lost-found and I
can have a branch/head point at them, but it's not understood as stash
anymore.


Thank you,
Emil.

You should be able to recover it with

	git update-ref refs/stash <commit>

Where the <commit> points to the merge commit of the stashed index and the 
stashed working directory.
