Re: How can I do an automatic stash when doing a checkout?

That does not have to do much with "the" git workflow.

If you are a kind of person who likes to work on N things concurrently
without ever making and recording mistakes but would rather keep
unfinished work without committing until done, you would need to have them
in your working trees. By definition you would need to use N working
trees, each of which permanently checks out its own branch, instead of a
single working tree where you checkout one of N branches at a time to work
on.

That is also a perfectly fine git workflow that we support with the
contributed script git-new-workdir.
