That is not a valid question.

I was just asking to see if you could think of something.  I just did:
named stashes (each one has a different ref/ reflog) for internal use.

Sure, we'll go with the -m -e approach.

The whole point of my response is that it is not a valid approach to
decide to add (or not to add) a reasonable enhancement mechanism
built in from the beginning by asking "what future enhancement do
you foresee today?".  It is unclear if you got that point.

As long as the end result is to have something that does not paint
us into a corner from which it will be painful to escape, I'll be
happy anyway.

Right, got it.  The fact that we weren't able to foresee the merge UI
problem tells us that we're capable of repeating the mistake no matter
how much we think we've thought about it.
