I think having to have that special git alias just bugs me as being a bit unnecessarily complex, but different strokes for different folks I suppose. FWIW I don't actually use stow, I just wrote a simple Python script to do it[0]. It doesn't handle deleting things but it just means I don't have to mess about having a special non-standard git repo in $HOME, I can just treat my dotfiles like any other git project I have.
