[v2,3/3] rebase (autostash): use an explicit OID to apply the stash

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

When `git stash apply <argument>` sees an argument that consists only of
digits, it tries to be smart and interpret it as `stash@{<number>}`.

Unfortunately, an all-digit hash (which is unlikely but still possible)
is therefore misinterpreted as `stash@{<n>}` reflog.

To prevent that from happening, let's append `^0` after the stash hash,
to make sure that it is interpreted as an OID rather than as a number.

Oh, this is clever.

FWIW, all patches look good to me, barring the typo below.

Yeah, we can do this as we know we'd be dealing with a commit-ish.
If we made a mistake to use a tree object to represent a stash, this
trick wouldn't have been possible ;-)

Will squash this in and add your reviewed-by before queuing.

Thanks, both.
