This removes the autostash file for all reset types but we only keep the
stash in the case of 'reset --hard' which is confusing.

I was worried that this change would be controversial... The rationale
behind this change was that with `reset --hard`, we want to leave a
clean working tree behind so we save it into the stash reflog. In all
other cases, remove_branch_state() will apply the saved stash entry
which should be fine since users don't expect a clean worktree with the
other reset types.

I considered saving the autostash in all cases of reset but
`git merge --abort` invokes `git reset --merge` behind the scenes so
we'd have to consider that. Perhaps we can make all resets save the
stash entry and, in the case of `merge --abort`, we can add some extra
logic to subvert this so that the stash entry is applied?

Perhaps something like this?

     squash! merge: teach --autostash option
Stash is saved when any reset is run, when git merge --abort is run,
     stash is applied.

I think this is the easiest behavior to understand, it avoids changing the behavior of reset, in particular it stops 'reset --mixed/--soft' from suddenly starting to touch the working tree.

This is a bit of a performance, can't we just remember the stash oid in a variable and tweak the apply code?

Calling cmd_reset() was already a bit dodgy by our normal rules, now we're calling other functions after it though I guess given the current autostash implementation it's mostly in a separate process.

I think this is a good direction to go in
BTW what message gets printed when the stash is saved?

I'm not sure about what the most intuitive behaviour is. I thought that
this implementation would be the best but I'm not entirely sure. I'd
appreciate some more discussion on this.

Thanks,
