Why would you want to store the state in Git?

This means that if you have a CD pipeline (triggered itself by a commit) that does `terraform deploy`, you'd need to have your CD pipeline do commit _again_ to save the changes to the TF state files.

On top of that, you lose the ability to re-run a previous CD pipeline to rollback to a previous version of your infrastructure.

The goal of Git is just to store the lifecycle of a piece of software, imo. It's not the reponsibility of the repo to know the state of the deployment.

You’d just use Git as fancy storage with some extra features. You could use a separate repo for that.

But I agree that the gain from that is not crazy.
