We normally wrap text with a bit less than 80 columns. Yours is wrappet
at 50 columns which makes it look weird.

Instead of going through this 3-valued "true/false/unset", I would have
let opt_autostash = 0 by default, and read the configuration before the
call to parse_options (the usual way to apply precedence: read from low
precedence to high precedence).

But this is a bit less easy than it seems, since the code currently
checks the configuration variable only when --rebase is given, so my
version would do a useless call to git_config_get_bool() when --rebase
is not given. So I think your version is OK.

The else is not needed since the other branch dies.
