Okay now I get it. Your git-ls-remote(1) example is correct. But I did
something like:
```
git clone backup.pack ./repo
```
And `clone` will not transfer `refs/stash`. It’s there but it doesn’t
seem that convenient to get *out* with a porcelain like git-clone(1).
Maybe it’s possible but I kind of want to say “okay just pop your
stashes and make regular commits/branches”.
I’m not sure how to formulate that. Seems clumsy:
refs are included in the bundle (also `refs/stash` but that
particular one won't be included in e.g. a clone):
Would it be too drastic to use a footnote?
