For orthogonality's sake, should this be 'git-stash save', aliased to
just 'git-stash'? It would make this heading a little more intuitive,
and the very first paragraph (describing all of the modes) a little more
clear.
I would further suggest that we _require_ 'git stash save' to
create a new one and perhaps make the non-subcommand case run
'git stash list'.  While I was trying the code out I
accidentally created a new stash when I did not mean to, which
pushed the stash I wanted to apply down in the list every time I
made such a mistake.
Well, the normal thing you want to do if you say "git stash" is best 
described by "Git, stash!".

However, unstash would by a nice feature. Not easy, but nice. Not easy, 
because we would be actively outsmarting the reflog machinery we use for 
the stash.

Ciao,
