No, they don't.  Git forbids redefining commands with aliases. They may
have an alias like "git pullauto" or so, but not "git pull".

There's not much we can do about it now, as Git cannot guess whether a
stash is to be re-applied later or just kept "in case". My main use of
"git stash" is "I want a reset --hard, but stash is safer", I wouldn't
want "status" to remind me when I have a stash because it is almost
always the case.

Showing the "autostash" status in "git status" would make sense OTOH,
but I agree that it's another topic.
