Ah, yes.  My stupidity.  Why was I expecting ^{/quuxery} to dig
through the reflog?
An extension to the reflog dwimery that implements @{/<text>} could be
interesting though.
Yeah, this sounds interesting.

My initial itch that led up to this: I wanted a way to stash something
away and recover it at a later time predictably for rebase.autostash
(there might have been other stash invocations in between).
Originally, I thought I'd need a refs/stashes/* or something of the
sort to solve this problem, but git-stash.sh hard-codes refs/stash
everywhere (and so do other things like reflog).  So, I was thinking
about retrieving it based on commit message, but the solution is still
short of ideal.  What are your thoughts on my original refs/stashes/*
idea?
