TG> Is there a tool to compare cache with working directory

    git-diff-tree tree1 tree2           two trees
    git-diff-cache --cached tree1	cache and tree
    git-diff-cache tree1		tree and working directory
    git-diff-files                      cache and working directory

So git-diff-files is not just similar to but exactly is what you
want if I read your question correctly.

TG> Or is there a way to find out the SHA checksum of a file in
TG> a working directory without adding it to a temporary cache?

Yes there is a way, git-write-blob, but why would you want to do
that?
