You are taking this completely backwards. The stash mechanism is all
about creating a quickie temporary pair of commits. Anybody who wants
otherwise can use alias or choose not to use stash at all.

You are of course right. That was the reason I made
git-stash command behave that way in the first place.
But I see that some people on the list find this behavior
dangerous and I can understand their fears. Until one
learns that one can go back to the state before running
git-stash by running "git-stash apply" soon after that,
it appears to one that the work is lost.
How about making this behavior configurable?

[PATCH] Make "git stash" configurable
"git stash" without argument originally created an unnamed
stash, but some people felt this can be confusing to new
users. This introduces config variable stash.quick to
control this behavior.
The variable can take one of three values: true, false, ask.
When set to "true", the command allows to create a quick
stash without any user interaction. When set to "false",
the command shows the list of stash instead. When set to
"ask", the command asks the user.
For the first time users, when the variable is not set,
the command helps the user to set it interactively.
