Thanks for the explanation! I am not a heavy user of git stash, so not sure if git reflog could have helped you, but I am grateful that somebody steered me toward git reflog early in my learning git. With reflog and frequent commits, it's very hard to lose work, short of deleting the entire project or its .git/ directory. rsync+ZFS also sounds like nice combo for running around git in order to prevent future mistakes destroying work.
