    List my stashes:
Julius:myapp(311-features) caius$ git stash list
stash@{0}: WIP on 445-specs: ac063a3 Fleshing out specs.

As you can see I have a stash on a different branch, now I want to see what the changes in the stash are. I wonder if git stash show will tell me that:
Julius:myapp(311-features) caius$ git stash show stash@{0}
 spec/models/my_model_spec.rb |   18 ++++++++++++++----
 1 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)

Hmm, that tells me its only going to affect one file, but what changes does it have. I think I'll have a go with git diff now. If I git diff HEAD..stash@{0} then it'll diff all my changes I've committed since. Lets try diffing against the commit the stash was made on top of.
From the stash list I can see the SHA1 of said commit ac063a3, and I know how to reference the stash using stash@{0}. Lets give that a go
Julius:myapp(311-features) caius$ git diff ac063a3..stash@{0}
diff --git a/spec/models/my_model_spec.rb b/spec/models/my_model_spec.rb
