The new comment is for reminder, so "I made this while switching
from 'master' to this new 'topic'" theoretically has more reminding
value than "I made this while switching to this new 'topic'". As I
outlined my workflow, I usually am on 'master' or 'next' when I end
up needing "co -m" option, so "I was on 'master' when I stashed
this" has a much weaker reminding value. Just like a series of
"autostash" without any context comment irritated me, I'll see many
"autostash on master" that I cannot quite distinguish.
But that may be just me.
