I don't know why you write that, and then say thanks. Clearly, what you wrote originally, and what Andreas pointed out, were quite obvious indicators that git already does what you suggest. You _do_ work "transparently" (whatever you understand by that overused term) in the working directory, unimpeded by git. And whenever it is time to revert or commit, you cry for help, invoking git. So either you succeeded in making yourself misunderstood, or Andreas had quite the obvious and correct comment for you.
