I prefer "we" in this case. ;-)

I don't use stashing commands from VC myself, but the stash mechanism is 
usually more complex, e.g. it usually knows how to merge changes (when 
the user has edited the file in some place and then pops the stash) and 
indicate conflicts.

That's why a stash is usually represented as a diff, I guess.
