Preference git stash apply over pop when first learning

Browse Source 
Flipped to `apply` over `pop` based on suggestion by
@matthewmccullough. User can then have their Pringles
moment after first trying their hand at repatching in
a way that doesn't make things disappear.

Expanded the goings-on of `git stash list` and the
fact that new items are made into zero, pushing the
rest under.

<p>By default it will reapply the last added stash item to the working
directory. This will be the item referenced by <code>stash@{0}</code>.
You can grab another stash item instead if you reference it in the arguments
list. For example, <code>git stash pop stash@{1}</code> will apply the item
list. For example, <code>git stash apply stash@{1}</code> will apply the item
referenced by <code>stash@{1}</code>.
</p>
<p>If you want to leave the item on the stack, use
<code>git stash apply</code> instead.
<p>If you also want to remove the item from the stack at the same time,
use <code>git stash pop</code> instead.
</p>
<h4>
git stash clear
<small>remove all items from the stash list</small>
git stash drop
<small>remove an item from the stash list</small>
</h4>
<p>When you're done with the stash and/or you want to remove of all the
stored items, just run the <code>git stash clear</code> command. But only
do this if you're sure you're done with the stash.
<p>When you're done with the stashed item and/or want to remove it from the
list, run the <code>git stash drop</code> command. By default this will
remove the last added stash item. You can also remove a specific item if
you include it as an argument.
</p>
<p>In this example, our stash list has at least two items, but we want
to get rid of the item added before last, which is referenced by
<code>stash@{1}</code>.
