At first, I found this extra layer annying just like you.  But now
that I've been using git for time time, I really miss the index when
I'm working in other DVCs, e.g. Mercurial.

That didn't answer your question, but perhaps the best way to answer
it is to dive head-first into git and just accept the new concepts.
