There are many "Git's coolest, most unloved feature", e.g.: bisect, pickaxe, reflog, range-diff, archive, annotated tags, etc. Sadly they are often forgotten as many people thing of Git only as a glorified Google Drive...

In many cases this is because those features arent actually that useful and they are frivolities surrounding a workhorse.

When I presented most of the ones that I listed to other people they started to say how it would be great if they know these features before, and started to use immediately.

So, yet I understand that some tools do too much, I don't think that this is the case here.
