Is it infeasible to create a multi-directory approach? I'm not familiar with the
implementation details, but I just imagined the .git directory contains all the
data for a Git repo and wouldn't really limit the behaviour of the tool.
	So, the .git directory would be in the repo folder, and then when you
branch it just checkouts the files into a subfolder. Then all the
status/diff/commit commands would work by comparing the files in the subfolder
with the data in the parent .git directory for the given branch name.

If doing this, you'd probably want to rename .git to .brz-git or similar, to
ensure that the Git program doesn't try to operate on the repo (I don't see any
real advantage in supporting both programs in the same local repo).

Thanks,
Sam
