It seems strange to me that git stash is using sub-sub-command words 
instead of options.  Would it make more sense to be more like git branch 
and have a list be indicated by -l, etc.?
But those are not really options, are they?  They are commands, which 
exclude each other.  And even if they are sub-sub-commands, why should we 
not rather fix "git branch" to support a sane syntax, too?

We could even put some general support into parse-options.[ch] for 
sub-commands.
