Did that actually happen to you? Because it seems kind of unlikely to me
that you would perform this exact sequence of events, _exactly_ 90 days
after stashing (i.e., the 90 day period expires sometime between "git
stash list" and "git pull"). Not to mention that you actually _care_
about the stash 90 days later.
So yes, I would hate for that to happen, too. However, I think there is
a real benefit to garbage collecting stashes, and the scenario you
describe seems implausibly unlikely.
