[PATCH v4 1/2] stash: reserve exit status 1 for conflicts

+EXIT STATUS
+-----------
+
+The `git stash` subcommands exit with status 0 on success.  The
+subcommands that apply a stash entry, i.e. `apply`, `pop` and `branch`,
+exit with status 1 when applying the stash entry resulted in conflicts,
+in which case the stash entry is left in place, and with a non-zero
+status other than 1 when they fail for other reasons.
