Inperative mood.

Be less subjective by dropping "significant"; do not shove the
judgement down the throat of reviewers.

Why up to 999, not 99 or 9999?

How about doing it this way instead:

	if commit=$(git rev-parse --verify --quiet $arg^0)
	then
		: that is a commit-ish, even though it is 0123
	elif test "$arg" = 0 || expr "$arg" : '[1-9][0-9]*$' >/dev/null &&
	     commit=$(git rev-parse --verify --quiet "stash@{$arg}^0")
	then
		: $arg is decimal integer and stash@{$arg} is a commit-ish
	else
        	BAD
	fi

If you are _adding_ a feature, do not remove tests for existing one;
otherwise you will risk masking a breakage you may be introducing to
an existing feature.  Add tests to check that (1) your new feature
works when it should, and (2) your new feature does *not* kick in
when it should not.  For example, if you only accept up to 3-digit
decimal integer, make sure feeding 0000 (or something that is *not*
3-digit decimal integer) does not trigger your new feature.

Likewise throughout the patch.
