* jc/stash-create (Mon Jul 9 00:51:23 2007 -0700) 2 commits + rebase: allow starting from a dirty tree. + stash: implement "stash create" Instead of refusing to rebase, telling you that your work tree is dirty, this stashes your local changes, runs rebase and then unstashes automatically. That _sounds_ nicer and easier to use, but I am not sure if it is a wise/sane thing to do. We may want to revert the "autostash" from rebase. Opinions?
I can say that for people coming from svn (who are often using "git svn rebase" rather than directly running "git rebase") this is a nice workflow improvement. It eliminates one more "Why is this more of a pain to do in git than in svn?" complaint.
I don't see any circumstance in my use of git -- either in a git-svn context or not -- where this wouldn't be an improvement over the existing behavior. However, I don't claim to be using git in any particularly interesting way, so I suppose it's possible that this will break someone's workflow horribly.
