After reading the description on stash.useBuiltin, I'd agree with
you, except I do not see the distinction between "original" vs
"legacy". I very much like the way the last paragraph for
"stash.useBuiltin" delivers the right message.
+If you find some reason to set this option to `false`, other than
+one-off testing, you should report the behavior difference as a bug in
+Git (see https://git-scm.com/community for details).

Yes, if we are redoing this step anyway, we should lose the explicit
comparison with zero here.
