The problem is git's index let's you write a bunch of unconnected code, then commit it separately. To different branches, even! This works great for stacking diffs but is terribly confusing if you don't know what you're doing.
Well, git doesn't really commit 'to' a branch.
You just build commits, and then later on you muck around with the mutable pointers that are branches.
