So instead of generating state by doing API requests, this would generate state from code in git, which does not necessarily represent the real world state of resources. As much as I'd want Terraform without state I believe using Terraform code in git as state creates more problems than it solves. This approach isn't able to recognize changes made to resources done outside of Terraform. It also assumes the previous version of the Terraform code in git is always the one which got applied last, which isn't necessarily the case.
