Hmm. It's certainly possible to do something like:

diff --git a/wt-status.c b/wt-status.c
index 0c8287a023..397d36544d 100644
--- a/wt-status.c
+++ b/wt-status.c

                wt_shortstatus_other(it, s, "!!");
+
+       if (s->show_stash)

 }

 static void wt_porcelain_print(struct wt_status *s)

and that would cause 'git status' to do what you expect:

    $ git.compile status --short --branch --show-stash
    ## tb/empty-trailer-continuation
     M wt-status.c
     Your stash currently has 16 entries

But it may not be the right thing to do, since that explicitly breaks
the --porcelain format. We may want something like this in addition to
the above:

diff --git a/builtin/commit.c b/builtin/commit.c
