Subject: [PATCH v10 3/4] sequencer: teach autostash apply to take optional conflict marker labels

From: "Harald Nordgren via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2026 11:51:44 +0000

From: Harald Nordgren <[email-masked]>

Add label_ours, label_theirs, and label_base parameters to the autostash
apply machinery so callers can pass custom conflict marker labels
through to "git stash apply --label-ours/--label-theirs/--label-base".
Introduce apply_autostash_ref_with_labels() for callers that want
to pass labels.
