I know. But, as I said, when you turn away from your current work, which
is precious, then you should make a commit, in particular, when you can
forsee that you might not be able to come back soon.

A 'git stash' is really only intended as a short-term
make-the-worktree-temporarily-clean auxiliary storage. It is not
intended as a long-term storage. For long-term storage, use branches.
"Short term" is measured in seconds (rebase --autostash), minutes,
perhaps hours, but certainly not weeks or months.

At least, that's how I understand (and use) it.
