I spent a good chunk of time getting familiar with the index before
there was a git-gui, and I can only agree: git-gui makes it obvious
how simple the concept of an index really is, in a way the
command-line tools never did. With the command line, you have to
visualize it yourself, which means you have to understand it first;
but with git-gui, it's just drawn on your screen, plain and simple.
