This is true.

But how does someone take advantage of it without changing their current behavior: write an entire paragraph and do 2 line breaks.

Always end a sentence with '.\n'? Manually format lines so no line have more than 80 characters?

There are some options here on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43122175/automatically-h...

Prettier options to extensions like Rewrap, one of those might fit your use case.

I don't understand your question. Markdown's syntax already requires 2+ newlines to define a paragraph. There should be no change in a workflow if you're already using Markdown.

The only nuance is that if you want git to track changes in each sentence that forms a paragraph, just add a single line break after the punctuation mark. Markdown still interprets that as the same text block, but git is able to handle changes per line.
