Ah you can use pop with other stashes too, thanks for the tip... though that feels a bit like a semantic misnomer (? unsure what term would be best to describe what I'm thinking - but 'pop' kind of feels like it should always be applicable only to the top element in a stack. I'd be scared that popping stash@{5} would apply all of stashes 1 to 5 at once lol).
I've been using `git stash apply stash@{n}`, which works just fine, but the stash is then not removed from your list and results in clutter.

It does, but then, this is the git command-line interface. :)
My understanding is that the stash pop command is simply an apply plus the removal of the successfully applied stash. The man page reflects this. It does not pop everything above element in the list.
