`pull --rebase --autostash` fails when fast forward in dirty repo

[Tyler Brazier]

Hi,

This script explains and tests what's going on:
https://gist.github.com/tylerbrazier/4478e76fe44bf6657d4d3da6c789531d

pull is failing because it shortcuts to --ff-only then calls
run_merge(), which does not know how to autostash. Removing the
shortcut fixes the problem:
