Minor nit: but when I wrote the code for run_rebase() I separated the options for "Shared options" and "Options passed to git-rebase" into different code block groups from the other code, and I would like it if it remained that way :-(

Hmm, interesting. If rebase.autostash=true !opt_autostash, we don't need to pass --no-autostash to git-rebase because it will only stash if the worktree is dirty, but a dirty worktree will be caught by git-pull's die_on_unclean_worktree() anyway.

Still, it may be a problem because the worktree may become dirty in-between our "worktree is clean" check and when git-rebase is run (during the git-fetch), and the user may be surprised if git-rebase attempted to stash in that case.

So we may wish to pass "--no-autostash" to git-rebase as well.

Git code style puts the else on the same line, not on a new one.

Yeah, I agree with Eric that this comment should be dropped,
