Hpmh.  The hunk that updates reset_head() does get exercised by
"apply --index", so testing that is OK, but we are also patching
"do_push_stash()" to be quiet, so don't we care the chattyness of
this step, too?

In these steps, we also want the same "did the command refresh the
index?" tests, no?

Other than these nits I noticed, the overall idea of the topic is
well presented.  Thanks for working on this.
