Would readers misinterpret we are talking about a branch whose name is stash something? I am not suggesting to change ## introducer to some random letters, which would break scripts even worse. Doesn't the Porcelain Format v1 call the same codepath as shortstatus? We promise that its output never changes to support existing scripts, but now they will start seeing "## stash:" that they do not understand and barf? Isn't this information available to scripts that want to read from porcelain v2 output format (which is meant to be extensible by allowing easy-to-parse optional headers, which this stash thing exactly is). Thanks.
