First thing is: teach them to commit first. If they decide later that they did not want that change, they still can go back with "git reset HEAD@{2}". The other thing, if you have to, is to put all dirty changes into the index before pull. Something like "git add $(git ls-files --modified)". You can even make that a global alias for your users. Although IIRC it does not work if the merge changes the same files as your dirty work tree touches, but I could very well be wrong there.
