Overlays are a completely different approach for "local changes" and
independent from the SCM used (currently git).
My 2¢: I'd say using local git branches is much more flexible and fits
my personal workflow best, as I can just cherry-pick to actually commit
something or put it up for review on phab. If I would use overlays
locally, I'd have to manually copy over code.
IMHO, a good usecase for overlays is if you need some shared staging
area for a team, very much like the libreoffice team uses it.
