Should this entry this verbose?
- Is there a non-temporary stash?
- I think "This means that ..." is totally unnecessary.
- It probably makes sense to have "This option is only valid..." as
a separate second paragraph as you did.
- "The default is..." is misleading. Even if rebase.autostash is
set to false, we won't autostash, but that is different from the
default being "--no-autostash".
Think of "--[no-]autostash" option as *ONE* way to affect the
auto-stashing behaviour, and treat "options" and "behaviours" two
different things.
There is no default "option" for this. It is that "autostash"
behaviour defaults to what is given to rebase.autostash if
exists, and can be explicitly set by --[no-]autostash if given.
But that is the norm for any configuration and option that overrides
the configuration, so it probably is a better use of the ink to say
something like this perhaps?
--autostash::
--no-autostash::
Before starting "pull --rebase", create a stash to save
local modifications, and apply the stash when done (this
option is only valid when "--rebase" is used).
+
'--no-autostash' is useful to override the 'rebase.autoStash'
configuration variable (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
By the way, some other patches in this series say --noautostash
without a dash after --no, which you would want to correct.
Thanks.
