Subject: bug#24046: [PATCH] vc-git: prevent execution of git stash in error cases

Here is simple patch which adds two additional checks to the vc-git-stash-show
function to check that correct stash name is passed and actually repo
has stashes.

Thank you

* lisp/vc/vc-git.el (vc-git-stash-show): prevent execution if stash
name is empty or a repo hasn't stashes.
