probably about 5 minutes later) you realize "oh, this is some
stashed work that I'm not going to deal with for a while" and you
promote it to a topic branch.
That's exactly the sort of thing that people end up forgetting to do,
even if they know they know about and understand the issue -- and of
course many (most?) people will be using stashes _without_ knowing about
this issue. I suspect both types will be pretty annoyed when they
realize their work disappeared...
