Description Knut Wannheden CLA 2019-11-14 01:50:39 EST 
I think it would be very nice if EGit could provide a checkbox in the Rebase dialog which would achieve the equivalent of `git rebase --autostash` (see https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rebase).

AFAICT JGit already supports this with bug #422951.

Good idea. Yes, JGit supports it. So it's only missing UI functionality. Care to provide a Gerrit change for this?

Without ever having browsed the EGit code I am afraid the effort from my side would be too high to justify from the point of view of my employer.

For how I like working with Git this feature would be very valuable. Currently I often resort to the command line and then have to do a refresh in Eclipse afterwards.

You could stash/unstash manually in EGit before/after doing the rebase. (Context menu in the repositories view.)

Yes, that works, too. But too many dialogs and clicking for my taste :-)
