And as Oscar F. wrote in another thread, can lead to many gigabytes of
data stashed away.

Yes, I agree, I stash with -u by default, but I do have var to turn it
off.

What do you think about checking out, between multiple different
branches? Switching two branches back and forth is no brainer, it should
always work fine, but switching multiple branches can lead to mess since
stashes are applied automatically. Any good strategy to automate this
case?

Honestly, I don't see much difference than doing it manually, but I am a
bit affraid of auto applying stashes.
