git log -S doesn't search stash WIPs

From: Jonathan del Strother <hidden>

"git log --all -Sfoo" doesn't find strings introduced in stash WIP
commits, only the stash index.  That is, if I do :

$ echo foo >> file
$ git add file
$ echo bar >> file
$ git stash
Saved working directory and index state "WIP on master: 00495fc... initial"
(To restore them type "git stash apply")
HEAD is now at 00495fc... initial
$ git log --all -Sfoo

    index on master: 00495fc... initial
$ git log --all -Sbar
<this space intentionally left blank>


Is this intentional?  Am I missing some git-log option that would
allow me to search the stash WIPs?
