Oh, OK. I don't keep a lot of stashes around.

But I found some suggestions:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2160638/how-can-i-format-patch-with-what-i-stash-away
and
http://superuser.com/questions/409228/how-can-i-share-a-git-stash
looks particularly intriguing; the implication is that you can do it in a single shot. What he doesn't say is that you'll need to use git update-references to recalibrate the stash in "gnucash-new" to point to "otherstash".
