I don't think there's any need to prevent stash running in these cases and I sometimes find it useful that I can stash during a rebase. Having said that, I wonder what happens with "cherry-pick -x" if you do stash changes while it is stopped. I don't think that is as serious as the merge case because it's easy to detect in the commit message. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
