There is a problem with changes on the working copy which are not committed or 
stashed. Pulling the repo often fails with the following:

C:\pwb\compat>git pull "origin" master -v --progress
From https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/pywikibot/compat
 * branch            master     -> FETCH_HEAD
Updating f9f28e8..9fe0bc2
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
        externals/__init__.py
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting

svn merged it automatically if there where no conficts and if there where some 
conflicts I could easy solve it. Any ideas for that flow with git?
