[PATCH] t3903 (stash): add failing test for ref of form ^{/message}

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

While a 'git stash show stash^{/quuxery}' works just fine, a 'git
stash pop stash^{/quuxery}' complains with: 'stash^{/quuxery} is not a
stash reference'.  This confusing behavior arises from the differences
in logic that 'show' and 'pop' internally employ to validate the
specified ref.  Document this bug by adding a failing testcase for it.

 So if you look at git-stash.sh:377, you'll notice that it's doing a
 the shell substitution "${REV%@*}" to figure out whether the stash
 ref is a valid ref.  This hacky myopic design has to be done away
 with immediately, and we should really compare the SHA-1 hex of the
 specified ref with those in the stash reflog.

 The only reason I haven't written a fix yet is because I'm not sure
 why you need this convoluted IS_STASH_LIKE and IS_STASH_REF logic in
 the first place.  Can someone enlighten me as to what is going on?
