[gentoo-user] OT: git, how to compare a repo with a loose tree

I would like to use "git diff" to show differences between the current state of a git repository and a normal directory tree somewhere on the filesystem, ie. one without a .git subdirectory. This is proving surprisingly hard to do. git diff has a documented mode to compare general "paths" as
