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.

I think that makes sense...it's somehow cleaner to me if the 
non-subcommand case doesn't make any changes (maybe just because I like 
to explore commands by running them).

I disagree entirely.

The _only_ default subcommand for git-stash, which makes _any_ sense, is 
"save". I have run my own version of it several times, and it _literally_ 
was in those circumstances "hack, hack, hack, aargh, stash that, I'll need 
it later". "git cherry-pick stash" and "git reflog show stash" were needed 
far less.

I am utterly uninterested in the stash list.
