Stash pop/apply conflict and --theirs and --ours

From: Sven Strickroth <hidden>

Hi,

I regularly experience that beginners have problems unterstanding that
--ours and --theirs are swapped when a conflict occurrs on git stash
apply or stash pop.

From the HCI perspective this is really counter intuitive.

So, I'd like to propose that on git shash pop/apply theirs and ours
should be swapped in git index, so that git checkout --theirs and --ours
work as expected.

PS: I'm sorry if this was already discussed, I haven't found any discussion.
