I allowed myself to make those changes, and to reorder the last three
patches as asked by Junio. Paul, please find the result at
https://github.com/dscho/git as `git-stash`. If you agree with it, I would
be delighted if you resubmitted it directly after Git v2.20.0 is released
(Junio, it seemed that -rc1 slipped a couple of days, and now -rc2, too,
any word when you think the final v2.20.0 is due?).

Thanks,
Dscho
