Then I don't understand why Git would force you to commit.  IME, it
happens only when the pulled changes modify the same places as your
uncommitted changes.  And even then I'm given a choice of committing
or stashing; the latter will allow to leave your changes uncommitted,
if you "git stash pop" after pulling.

What version of Git do you have installed?
