A better notation for creating a new commit would be something that
takes both the contents and the parents as arguments.

"commit:"
  HEAD = new(NEXT, HEAD)
  NEXT = HEAD
"commit --amend"
  HEAD = new(NEXT, all-parents-of(HEAD))
  NEXT = HEAD

> "stash save"
>    STASH = new(new(HEAD+(NEXT-HEAD))+WTREE-NEXT)

"stash save"
  STASH = new(WTREE, HEAD, new(NEXT, HEAD))
  NEXT = HEAD
  WTREE = HEAD
  push(STASH)

And similar.
