If the unfinished business consists of local commits that haven't yet been 
applied upstream, then I typically do the following:

git fetch  # Find out if upstream has changed since my last pull.  If so...
git format-patch -n  # save n local commits
git reset --hard origin/master
git am 00*  # reapply my local commits

This assumes I've been too lazy to work on a separate branch, which is often the 
case for small changes.
