Hi,

This is a double-post. You've posted almost the same message under the
title "GSoC 2016". Nothing serious, but attention to details is
important if you want to give a good image of yourself.

Note that we are just submitting our application, but have no guarantee
that the Git organization will be accepted for this year's GSoC.

I don't have all the code in mind, but I think it is. In this situation,
you always end up with a variable telling Git what to do (I guess,
autostash here), and this variable is set according to the configuration
and the command-line.

You should be careful about the precedence: command-line should override
the configuration. And the default behavior should be used if neither
the command-line nor the configuration specified otherwise.

To get an example, you can pick any pair (command-line option, config)
that work together, find the code implementing it and blame to find the
corresponding commit.
