Maybe the command name is the problem. We know that 'git stash' is short
for 'git stash save', so we think we are directing git to "save" something.
In the physical world when I "save" something or "stash" it away, even
temporarilly, I don't stick it in a garbage can and put it out by the curb. :)

Sorry, that's just what popped into my head :)
