git commit -v gives you the diffs provided you don't also use -m. Personally, I find -m to be a dangerous flag for commit for exactly the reasons you described not mention its hard to really do detailed multi-line commit messages with -m.

If were talking about graphics card rigs, well I guess could attempt to re-sell them to gamers and the like to attempt to get some money back out of them (although, in the end probably still a loss unless you covered the purchase+power/cooling+maint costs in mining with them)

ASIC BTC mining hardware, I don't think can be re-purposed.
