This patch introduces a common flags and revision parsing function to the following git stash commands: * apply * branch * pop * drop * show With these changes, git stash now: * allows non-stash log entry references to passed to 'stash branch' provided they are stash-like * relaxes the requirement that a stash log currently entry exists for 'stash show' or 'stash branch' * does not attempt to drop the specified revision if it doesn't look like a stash log entry reference * fails 'stash pop' and 'stash drop' early if the specified revision is not a stash log entry reference * fails early if more than one stash-like commit is specified * fails early if the specified revision is of the form ref@{n} and ref exists, but ref@{n} does not exist * reports various error conditions that can occur across multiple commanbds with consistent error messages. The implementation of several commands is simplified to a lesser or greater degree by taking advantage of the new common parsing and validation function, parse_flags_and_rev(). This revision incorporates feedback and corrections from Johannes Sixt and Junio Hamano.
