Hi,
I was looking through the changes in 2.7 and learned about the very
useful autostash feature of git rebase which was present since git
1.8.4.
I was wondering if there has been discussion about adding the same
flag(s) for use with git pull --rebase. It seems odd that git pull
--rebase honors the rebase.autostash config setting but there is no
way to override it with a flag.
If you are OK with this, I can work on a patch to add --[no-]autostash
to git pull.
Thanks,
Federico Bond

I don't use either feature myself, but I agree that we generally like to
have matching command line flags to countermand config options.
I seem to recall another thread recently where somebody wanted to pass
an option to rebase via "git pull", but I can't seem to dig it up just
now. Having a generic way to pass such options seems like it could be
useful, though (e.g., "--keep-empty" might be useful).
