Re: How is git used as other than the project's version control?

2009/4/27 John Dlugosz [off-list ref]:

But what about using it as a tool, wielded separately from applying
those tools to a git repository infrastructure?  For example, use it to
separate out hunks and untangle mixed work.  You could do this even if
your directory has nothing to do with git normally.

What is it you're really asking here?  I use "git diff" all the time
outside of $GIT_DIR for instance -- invaluable, and was designed
deliberately that way.
