Hi, since the latest version 2.13.2 "git pull --rebase --autostash" doesn't use a fast forward if possible. My global git config contains "pull.rebase=preserve" and "rebase.autostash=true". My working directory is clean with no changes. When I use "git pull" git doesn't use a possible fast forward merge. If I remove "rebase.autostash" from my git config a fast forward merge will take place. If a fast forward merge is possible and the working directory is clean autostash should do nothing and the fast forward merge should happen. Is it also possible to implement autostash on fast forward merge that way to stash changes, do the fast forward merge and at least to apply the stashed changes? Another problem is if "git pull rebase" without autostash can do a fast forward merge the rebase validation for changed files in my working directory will be done. I think in that case the fast forward merge validation should run. That would prevent the need to stash local changes if they do not affect files of the commits to fast forward from origin branch.
