Isn't that what -D, -S, and more simply -R do?
I did not use stow 2.x, but my understanding is that running stow -R will allow you to remove previous dangling symlinks (during the unstow) and add missing symlinks (during the restow). Effectively allowing you to only manage a single state: your git repository.
