Description

When running loadBackup, currently it always starts off with stashing. We would like to add a configurable setting, to detect if there are any uncommitted changes in your current git repository. If there are, abort the loadBackup. And by creating the setting, the user gets to choose if they always want to stash, or they want the loadBackup to fail in case they accidentally called it.

Research direction

Start at the loadBackup entry point and trace the current stash behavior and configuration handling. Add a user-selectable mode for stashing or aborting when the repository has uncommitted changes, then verify both behaviors with a changed working tree.
