How can I specify default merge strategy when I do a `git stash pop`?
I tried
```
git stash pop --theirs
```
but that doesn't work. | This is now possible:
```
git cherry-pick -n -m1 -Xtheirs stash
```
The literal string `stash` now represents the top stash entry (you can also do `stash@{1}` for the one below that, and so on.
