git rebase with working tree changes

Hi,

it's a bit painful to always manually wrap
'git rebase' into 'git stash' and 'git stash apply'.

'git merge' does this on its own, would it
be possible to do the same with 'git rebase (-i)'?

This would unify the behavior of
'git pull' and 'git pull --rebase'.

Comments are welcome.
