The fact a stash entry is a merge commit of two synthetic commits is an
implementation detail.  It can be very useful at times for power users,
but regular Git users need not be concerned with this.

Another fact worth reiterating that what the UI displays to the user is
better to match what the user reads in the docs. ;-)
I'll make changes as suggested by Junio. I slightly prefer
"Your stash has %d entry/entries" over "You have %d stash/stashes" 
but I'll go with what's used elsewhere in the documentation. 
Yup, I agree that I would definitely call them "stash entries" if I
were writing the documentation today, but lets match the new message
to the existing lingo first and think about renaming "a stash" to "a
stash entry" as a separate step.  The latter would become a larger
change (we'd also need to add an entry to glossary-contents.txt).

Thanks.
