That is a very neat trick, I agree.

I personally approaches stashes as undoable "clean up", and I never have anything really important that I want to save there. If I do have something like that, I just commit with a "WIP <some-descriptive-string>" message and don't push it, then a "git reset --mixed HEAD^" when I want to get back to it.

However, just FYI: you can "grep" your stashes really easily if you want to. just "git stash list -p" gives you the diffs for all the stashes, by default in "less" where you can search them, but you can pipe it to grep if you want. I somewhat frequently do that with "git log", if I want to know "when did this variable change?" or whatever, just "git log -p" to get the log with diffs in less, then search for whatever it was with a slash.
