Perhaps I'm misunderstand you, but what difference do you see for this use case between visual and command-line git clients? I do this all the time with git-diff on the command line, and it might just be a failure of my imagination, but I can't think of how the process would be any different with a visual client. Can you give an example?
Different strokes. I'm like you: I do a git status from the CLI for peace of mind. Others in my company gotta have their SourceTree, and hate the CLI. I disagree, but it's their choice.
