:-)

Not that this should affect any of these changes, but I'd also note
that the fact that using `-u` or  `-a` makes a third commit that cannot
be ignored later is a problem as well.  (`git stash list` should probably
annotate the listed stashes as to whether they are two- or three-commit
stashes.)

s/might/might think/, perhaps?  And, s/proceeded/preceded/, probably.

(I didn't look closely at the rest of this but the idea seems sound.)
