I think it would be worth introducing git-gui as a commit tool in the
tutorial(s) and the manual. It gives a very nice graphical

dirty state you aren't going to commit because you haven't staged it
yet. The only drawback is that it's a lot of work to make
documentation with screenshots ...

You could put that on a web page someplace.

For the tutorial and user manual, could git-gui be treated similar gitk,
with just a one- or two- line mention here and there?  I haven't used
it, so don't know where it would most logically fit in....
