IME, the only situation where a pull can fail if you have uncommitted
changes is when your changes touch the same portions that were
meanwhile modified by someone else's commits in the repository.  Then
you'd have a merge conflict, and will have to fix it manually.

Otherwise, I always pull before committing in my local mirror, and it
generally doesn't fail.
