[sr-dev] git: updating local git repo while pending changes

[Ovidiu Sas]

I see.  I worked before with bitkeeper and I really liked the
park/unpark feature.
I guess I will need to cook a script to save the diff as a patch,
restore the repo to clean state, pull and reapply the saved patch.

Thanks,
Ovidiu
