So, this roughly corresponds to parse_flags_and_rev function, it seems.

Use of strbuf w_commit_rev looks completely pointless here.  Am I
mistaken to say that the above three lines are equivalent to:

	ret = !get_oid(revision, &info->w_commit);

For the same reason, these strbuf's look pretty much pointless.  I
wonder if a private helper

	static int grab_oid(struct oid *oid, const char *fmt, const char *rev)
	{
		struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT;
		int ret;

		strbuf_addf(&buf, fmt, rev);
		ret = get_oid(buf, oid);
		strbuf_release(&buf);
		return ret;
	}

would help here?  Then you wouldn't be writing something like the
above, and instead you'd grab four object names like so:

	if (grab_oid(&info->b_commit, "%s^1", revision) ||
	    grab_oid(&info->w_tree, "%s:", revision) ||
	    grab_oid(&info->b_tree, "%s&1:", revision) ||
	    grab_oid(&info->i_tree, "%s&2:", revision)) {
		... we found an error ...
		return -1;
	}
                
which would be a lot easier to follow, no?

Wouldn't it make more sense to get rid of PATH_MAX and hold it in a
strbuf instead?  I.e.

    static struct strbuf stash_index_path = STRBUF_INIT;
    ...
    strbuf_addf(&stash_index_path, "%s.stash.%" PRIuMAX, index_file, (uintmax_t)pid);
