Who is the primary target audience of this feature? IDEs that read from "git status --porcelain"? Whoever it is, if they bothered enough to pass an extra option (i.e. "--show-stash") to their "git status" invocation, I wonder if they want to know at least what "git stash list" would give you at the same time. After all, the --porcelain output is all about machine readability and reducing the number of forks would be what those people would be interested in, wouldn't it? I dunno. Thanks.
