My feeling is that this feature will drift far away from what I initially
needed. I have never used 'checkout -m' but stash->checkout-unstash is a
pattern I use a lot.
I wonder with how complicated this might turn out, if it would be better to
have this as a separate feature called autostash (mirroring the same
feature from git pull rebase which I have enabled).
