Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing ti command entry points and how the tool handles Git meta refs. Compare the proposed ti diff behavior with Git's diff-tree, then define how ti reset should target a remote state. Done means both commands have an agreed scope and reliably compare or reset the local database against a remote meta ref.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Context

While trying to allow unauthenticated users to only create new ticgit issues on a repository, it seems that ti lacks the ability to compare and reset with a remote meta ref.

Feature ideas

ti diff

Show differences between local and remote ticgit db.

This is currently possible with git's plumbing command diff-tree just like ticgit's commit messages.

ti reset

Reset local db state to a remote state.
