FWIW, I answered other there because I use my chronoversion
hacky-scripts (in addition to doing some other fine-level work with at
the low level git command line). Obviously it's not a general purpose
porcelain and it's "deliberately not using" normal development
practice because I do lots of loosely related speculative research
rather than working on a well-defined "product". I was initially
confused by what the index does (particularly since in those days it
was often referred to as a cache) and so wrote the whole routines
using low-level commands; if I was to do it again I'd have my script
just call "git add" and then using the vanilla "git commit".
