Is there a way to have git maintain a single reflog across all branches (and stashes)? I switch between branches, create and delete branches, stash save and pop, etc. frequently and it would be great for me if there was a way to have a global reflog that showed every operation, independent of a particular branch. Is there some way to enable this?

You have it already. It is the "HEAD" reflog.

I don't seem to see any stash activity. For example, I made a test change, did git stash, and then git stash pop. When I do git reflog, I don't see the stash commit or the delete of the stash. Is there a way to enable that?

It is true that stash doesn't touch HEAD. So logically the stash operations should not end up in the HEAD reflog. But maybe creating a reflog only for stashed states could be a good thing.
I personally don't use stash that much since I've grown the habit of saving temporary states to a temporary branch before git-stash even existed, which in that case is always captured by the HEAD reflog.
