Thanks for resurrecting the thread.  Once this part gets sorted out
and the outside-reflog representation of stash becomes stable, the
next logical step would be to teach the "git stash create" and
friends to directly work on the new format, perhaps?  But first
things first---export+import would certainly be a logical first
step.
