Isn't this too pessimistic? If the local changes do not overlap (in
terms of files) with the pulled changes, then autosquash is not needed.

There should be a test for the case of non-overlapping changes.

Shouldn't this belong to "git merge" instead (i.e. implement "git merge
--autosquash" and call it from "git pull")? Users doing "git fetch &&
git merge" by hand should be able to use --autosquash, I think.

Something should be done for "git rebase" and "git pull --rebase" too.
In this case, the UI can be much smoother, since the user would have to
run "git rebase --continue" anyway, so you can do the auto-stash-pop for
him by adding something like "exec git stash pop" at the end of the todo-list.

Ideally, "git rebase --abort" should auto-stash-pop too, although this
is much less trivial to implement.

Maybe a good first step is to implement --autosquash only for non-rebase
pull, and later to implement "git rebase --autosquash" and call it from
"git pull".
