> Git stage is "These are the things I'm planning to do", and git commit is "OK now do these things". Lots of carpenters draw plans before they start cutting but we don't think that's so hard do we?

But when a carpenter stashes and unstashes their things, they don't suddenly find out they're magically planning to do a lot of things that they weren't previously planning to do.

Ha, that's a great way to put it. There's also "It is easy to shoot your foot off with git, but also easy to revert to a previous foot and merge it with your current leg" tho it's not quite as easy as the quote makes it out to be. Wish I knew who said that.
