I was wondering if there has been discussion about adding the same flag(s) for use with git pull --rebase. It seems odd that git pull --rebase honors the rebase.autostash config setting but there is no way to override it with a flag. If you are OK with this, I can work on a patch to add --[no-]autostash to git pull. Thanks, Federico Bond ``` ## Jeff King, 2016-01-11 21:03 Subject: Re: git pull --rebase --autostash Message-ID: <20160111210334.GB14535@sigill.intra.peff.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20160111210334.GB14535%40sigill.intra.peff.net In-Reply-To: ``` On Fri, Jan 08, 2016 at 12:24:09PM -0300, Federico Bond wrote: > I was looking through the changes in 2.7 and learned about the very > useful autostash feature of git rebase which was present since git > 1.8.4. > > I was wondering if there has been discussion about adding the same > flag(s) for use with git pull --rebase.

I don't use either feature myself, but I agree that we generally like to have matching command line flags to countermand config options. I seem to recall another thread recently where somebody wanted to pass an option to rebase via "git pull", but I can't seem to dig it up just now. Having a generic way to pass such options seems like it could be useful, though (e.g., "--keep-empty" might be useful). -Peff ```
