How to use Ansible git module pull a branch with local changes?

Question

My git workspace is dirty, there are some local modifications. When I use command git pull origin master it works fine because there is no conflict.

But when I'm trying to use Ansible like git: repo=xxxx dest=xxx version={{branch}} I got error:

Local modifications exist in repository (force=no)

If I add force=yes, then I will lose my local modifications.

What can I do to keep my local changes and pull latest commit from git by using Ansible git module.

You cannot achieve it using the git module. the only way is using shell command or try to keep a clean workspace
