Yeah, ditto for me.  When I return to a project after having been away a
few minutes, the first things I do are

	git branch	# remind me which topic I was working on
	git status	# remind me if I was in the middle of something.

So I end up running it a lot.  I only do a git-diff if I need some
details.
