Considering that stashes cannot be applied on a dirty tree, refreshing
the *vc-dir* would invariably follow (if one is committing from within
Emacs)
There seem to be only two options after a clean application of stash
1. Continue modify the working tree.
2. Commit the stash.
May be the prefix arg could be used to mean (2) above? I am more likely
to do (1) than (2).
Now I believe there is a strong case for refreshing *vc-dir*.
