Barton,
I don't think that you want to stash these changes.

I generally use magit in emacs as a git front-end, and
what I do is kill these changes. The corresponding
git command is

git --no-pager checkout -- <files>

where <files> is the list of files to be reverted.

Btw, it is probably best to do

git pull --rebase

rather than a simple git pull.
