So you are suggesting something like this:
--autostash::
--no-autostash::
Before starting rebase, stash local modifications away (see
linkgit:git-stash.txt[1]) if needed, and apply the stash when
done. `--no-autostash` is useful to override the `rebase.autoStash`
configuration variable (see linkgit:git-config[1]).

This option is only valid when "--rebase" is used.
Can be done and it make more sense to talk about the validity of the
option in a seperate line.

Yes, I tried that. Things looked something like this:
In patch 1/2
...
- int autostash = 0;
+ int autostash = config_autoshash;
if (is_null_sha1(orig_head) && !is_cache_unborn())
die(_("Updating ..."));
- git_config_get_bool("rebase.autostash", &autostash);
if (!autostash)
die_on_unclean_work_tree(prefix);
...
In patch 2/2
...
int autostash = config_autoshash;
if (is_null_sha1(orig_head) && !is_cache_unborn())
die(_("Updating ..."));
+ if (opt_autostash != -1)
+ autostash = opt_autostash;
if (!autostash)
die_on_unclean_work_tree(prefix);
...
This implementation looks much more cleaner but we are using some
extra space (autostash) to do the task. If everyone is fine with this
trade off then I can re-roll a new patch with this method. Comments please.

I thought of it earlier but voted against it as it may reduce the readability of
the code.

This is good. I'll make the changes accordingly.
Thanks for the comments.
