Re: git pull opinion

Aghiles a écrit :

Hello,

I am not sure this is the best place to write about this. Anyway,
we just switched a couple of repositories to git (from svn) here
at work and one thing people find annoying is a pull into
a dirty directory. Before the "stash" feature it was even worse
but now we can type:

    git stash
    git pull
    git stash apply

But isn't that something we should be able to specify to the "pull"
command ? Additionally and if I am not mistakn, those commands will
create "dangling" commits and blobs. So one has to execute:

    git prune

Is there an "easier" way to pull into a dirty directory ? 

I'm using:

$ git config --global alias.update '!git stash && git pull && git stash
apply'

Then in a git repository just do:

$ git update

ps; if someone is interested to hear what is the general opinion
on switching to git from svn in our company, I could elaborate.

Would be nice to hear about that indeed.

Pascal.
