Maybe my mental model of Git is borken (likely, considering I haven't
really used it yet) but seems like in the context of that blog post
it's a handy feature?

i. Pull from $central_repo to local Git repo
ii. perform changes
iii. not ready for a commit yet but want the latest code from trunk in
$central_repo
iv. stash current changes, pull trunk, un-stash changes

No?
