Alban reported[1] that he expected merge to have an --autostash option, just like rebase. Since there's not really any reason why merge can't have it, let's implement it in this patchset.
The actual logic isn't too bad. That change can be found in the last patch. The remainder is refactoring so that the change can be made easily. One thing I would like some attention on is if apply_autostash() is called in the right place. It's called somewhere above close_object_store() and also in the --abort case, just like in rebase, but I'm not quite sure if that's right. Since this is an RFC, we're missing tests and documentation but I've tested it and it seems to work reasonably well.
