Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/moghtech/komodo/issues/661

Although ultimately the users responsibility, in a similar vein to #458 it would be cool if a toggle could be added to repositories that when enabled will cause komodo to use the following strategy when a git pull is needed (instead of the current reset --hard approach):

git stash
Change to the correct branch if not already
Fetch/pull upstream changes
If the branch is the same as before, git stash pop

If there are merge conflicts or other issues, then simply fail the actions with an error so the user knows they need to clean-up their local repo.

Alternatively

Check if repo is the correct one, if not fail
git stash if working changes
Fetch/pull upstream
git stash pop if stash present
If merge conflicts, fail

Essentially, just expect the repo to be a state Komodo can use, and if any point a problem arises simply fail with an error instead of trying to force the repo back into a useable state.

Would help prevent the loss of WIP changes to some stacks if Komodo was being used for that purpose.

Low priority issue of course.

Agreed, this is my conundrum currently if I want to run renovate more frequently Komodo's pull will erase that WIP work unless I manually stash it prior.
