You should be using proper branches, not stash.

Here's an email with some background from Junio:

https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqq5ylior3l.fsf@gitster.g/

Some quotes:

> The intended use of "stash" is to clear the deck as quickly as
> possible to deal with "emergencies"

> Users are better off doing any large scale "I made a mess in the
> working tree with mixed changes, and I want to take time to separate
> them out" on separate (possibly temporary) branches, instead of
> using "stash save" + "stash pop"

In other words, you are using the wrong tool for the job probably.
