.git/config has these options:

[pull]
         rebase = true
[rebase]
         autoStash = true
[merge]
         autoStash = true

Periodically latest uncommitted changes are lost when some unrelated commits are pulled.

Not all uncommitted changes are lost, only some of them. I couldn't figure out the condition.

git-2.34.1

FreeBSD 13.
