If you need something from the stash a day after stashing it, you have 
a serious problem with understanding what branches are for.

While this may be true for codebases which move forward quickly, what 
about one which is basically finished and tends not to get touched in a 
long time. A situation arises, you stash something, the phone rings, and 
for whatever reason the stash gets forgotten and you don't revisit the 
project at all for days, weeks, months. It wouldn't be nice to 
eventually come back and discover that your in-progress work had been 
"garbage" collected for you.

You cannot be serious about not wanting to lose the changes when you keep 
them in _one_ _single_ repository anyway.

And you cannot be serious about not wanting to lose the changes when you 
forget about them, for months, even.

So you are making my point for me.

Thanks,
Dscho
